Artist Statement

This piece captures the emotional tension between nostalgia and progress. The use of dark navy and black evokes a sense of depth and reflection (nostalgia), while the brighter dim cyan introduces moments of hope and future potential (progress). The broken edges create a sense of fragmentation, hinting at the conflict between these two emotional states. The arrangement suggests an upward movement meeting a downward pull, reflecting the rise vs. fall dichotomy. The color density fluctuates throughout, creating echoes of both calm and rage, offering a layered narrative that resonates with the theme of time and growth.
