Artist Statement

The emotional tone juxtaposes quiet moments with areas of density, representing the subtle push and pull of pressure. The palette reflects this tension with soft off-white shades and subtle grays contrasted against deeper, compressed red and navy hues. The collision of colors creates a sense of interruptive dynamics—light accents amidst darker clusters create depth, while the layout emphasizes two pulsating centers in a sea of negative space, embodying the strife between quiet and pressure. The abstract pattern emerges from the interplay of halo-like pressure around the edges, while teeth-like forms break through, leaving an imprint of symbiosis and disruption.
