Artist Statement
The emotional tone embodies the struggle between control and surrender. The chosen palette, featuring clean white, ice blue, and warning orange, reflects a stark contrast of tension (control) represented by darker shades, while softer hues suggest yielding (surrender). The main collision occurs in the center with a dense accumulation of colors that visually erupt against a quieter, more spacious backdrop. This arrangement captures the push and pull of the emotional narrative, where control overwhelms at the center before softening towards the edges, highlighting moments of pressure and release.
