Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects the duality of vulnerability and strength, using a palette of pale aqua and clear white to signify fragility and alarm red for intense moments. The main collision occurs diagonally with a negative space that emphasizes the contrast between the dense weight of dark colors and the lightness of quieter hues, creating a visual tension that resonates with the themes of exposure and shelter. The patterns disrupt the space, mimicking the feeling of an ember (shape seed) flickering against a backdrop of tumultuous emotions, embodying the balance between strength and vulnerability without literal representation.
