Artist Statement

This composition navigates the emotional dichotomy between safety and exposure, balancing gentle protection with an open vulnerability. The color palette, anchored in 'shelter green' and 'pale skin,' evokes a sense of calm yet encourages tension through cooler tones like 'cold white' and 'open blue.' The collision occurs in the center where stacked patterns embody safety while threshold patterns ripple around, suggesting exposure's reach. The layout favors negative space which amplifies the feeling of a guarded yet permeable boundary, mirroring the emotional complexities established by the seed.
