Artist Statement
This artwork embodies the emotional tension between relief and dread through a dramatic contrast of dark and bright colors. The palette features black and dark violet to convey weight and depth, while soft gold and pale green introduce moments of light against the darker backdrop. The flow from top to bottom emphasizes a sense of gravity, with dashes of brightness that disrupt this flow subtly, reflecting the conflict described in the seed. The patterns clash—crosshatches from relief weave through the maze-like structures representing dread, creating a complex interplay on the canvas. The asymmetry brings out the broken edges, symbolizing how the two emotions coexist yet remain unresolved.
