Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures a delicate friction between tenderness and rage, represented through a palette of red, pale blue, white, and black. The dominant rage pulls the eye upward across the canvas, expressing a rising intensity through stacked patterns while the tender pale blue stairs provide a protective yet vulnerable response. The central collision area, marked by a chaotic pattern of red against soft blue, suggests an emotional struggle, allowing the viewer to interpret the ebb and flow of tension, hope, and vulnerability. The edge style introduces a blocked frame that forces the colors inward, enhancing tension and form while allowing imperfections to breathe into the structure of the piece, embodying the weight of emotion.
