Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional clash between panic and control, represented by a contrasting palette of warm ('burnt_orange', 'dark_red') versus cool ('charcoal', 'gold'). The layout is symmetrically broken, creating tension with deliberate displacements that symbolize chaos within a controlled frame. The dense clusters on one side evoke panic, while the scattered openness on the other side hints at control. The burnt edges reflect emotional scars, reinforcing the narrative of conflict and resolution.
