Artist Statement

This artwork captures the duality of joy and grief through a rhythm of color that ebbs and flows. The palette, consisting of warm yellows and oranges juxtaposed against deep blues and muted purples, reflects the emotional contrasts inherent in the seed. Here, joy is represented by bright, expanding checker patterns on the left, while grief is embodied by soft, drooping rings on the right, both attempting to fill their space yet showcasing interruptions and breaks. The placement of colors creates a dynamic tension reflecting love and betrayal, where certain colors collide sharply against one another, suggesting unresolved emotions. The flow from top to bottom emulates falling, reinforcing the feeling of heaviness and loss on one side while inviting brightness and elation on the other.
