Artist Statement

This composition expresses the duality of vulnerability and strength through contrasting colors and textures. The muted palette of soft grays and pale peach creates an exposed feeling, illustrating vulnerability, while the darker navy and compressed red provide a sense of shelter and strength. The main collision occurs in the center where the dense patterns of broken dots interact with the lighter mirror patterns, creating a tension between pressure and relief. This arrangement reflects the emotional struggle between feeling exposed and seeking fortitude, translating the seed’s concepts into an abstract pattern that captures the push and pull of these emotions.
