Artist Statement

This piece captures the emotional tension between rage and calm through a dichotomy of colors and textures. The vibrant reds signify rage and are arranged in a jagged 'ladder' pattern, symbolizing chaotic bursts of emotion, while cooler pale blue tones create a flood-like base, suggesting a calm undercurrent. The central collision arises from an interplay of these contrasting patterns, where the fiery reds attempt to break through the softness of blue, creating a visual representation of struggle and containment. The layout features moments of quiet space, with the narrow path echoing a 'quiet channel' that invites reflection amidst emotional upheaval.
