Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between feelings of envy and gratitude, reflected in the contrasting palette of deep black and soft gold. The dark hues embody heaviness, while the light gold vibrates with gratitude and lightness. The arrangement utilizes a rising signal flow, mimicking steps climbing upward, creating tension with darker edges. The zigzag pattern emerges from the interplay of crosshatch and flame motifs, where black and violet clash against the shimmering gold and green, suggesting an unresolved emotional struggle. This composition invites the viewer to navigate between the notions of heaviness and liberation.
