Artist Statement

The emotional tone of this piece contrasts the overwhelming presence of pressure with areas of quiet, suggesting themes of tension and release. The palette of muted colors like compressed red and dark navy interacts with softer tones like faint peach and off-white, enhancing the contrasting feelings. The tight center conveys compressed density while lighter colors create a calm backdrop, symbolizing an interplay of rigid edges and flowing forms—capturing the essence of collision and separation. The dominant pressure in the center, dissipating towards the edges, illustrates a departure from conflict towards tranquility.
