Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional tension between rage and calm using a palette of red, pale blue, black, and white. The warm red 'noise' hues occupy the center, suggesting bursts of energy and intensity that seek to overflow, while the cooler pale blue and black form the boundaries, creating a sense of calm constraint. The layout introduces a mirror effect, yet with subtle disruptions in color placement, emphasizing imperfection and evoking the idea of broken symmetry. Here, the collision occurs predominantly in the center, where saturated colors battle against softer tones, creating a dynamic visual narrative that reflects the struggle between chaos and tranquility.
