Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects a struggle between defiance and submission, captured through the interplay of colors. Black and deep blue dominate, representing the heaviness of defiance, while pale yellow and new leaf provide a subtle contrast, suggesting retreat and hope. The central arrangement of brighter colors amidst a darker field evokes a pulse—an inward spiral of tension that disrupts the quietness of surrounding colors. The palette embodies mourning and renewal, illustrating the conflict as a space of tension and release. The collision occurs primarily in the center, where the contrasting elements meet, creating a visual echo of struggle and resilience.
