Artist Statement
The emotional tone captures the push and pull between fear and hope, embodying darkness and light through color choice. The palette features deep blacks and dark violets representing fear, contrasted by soft gold and pale green that symbolize hope. The left side presents a jagged, ring-like pattern to evoke an unsettling atmosphere, while the right employs a checker pattern to imply potential and structure. The main contrast occurs where the two halves meet, emphasizing the struggle between the contrasting emotions while leaving negative space to alleviate overwhelming noise. This juxtaposition is reflected in the zigzag flow across the square, suggesting an upward rise amidst turbulence, echoing the seed's concept of rising signals and broken patterns.
