Artist Statement
This composition embodies the emotional struggle between 'quiet' and 'pressure' through a concentrated arrangement of colors, where the top half represents the stillness of quietness with soft, muted tones of off-white and faint peach, while the bottom half contrasts with the dense, darker tones of compressed red and dark navy that symbolize pressure. The palette choice reflects a journey from calmness to tension, with a stark visual collision central to the square. The irregular placement of muted shades and high contrasts evokes feelings of tension and release, resonating with the seed's themes of conflict and confusion.
