Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional clash between desire and restraint through a dual approach of saturated and muted colors. The palette includes hot coral and blood orange for passion, contrasted with muted charcoal and hollow blue, representing the restraint component. The pattern features a glitch effect on one side, symbolizing desire breaking boundaries, while a stacked arrangement on the other side signifies lock-in restraint. The main collision occurs centrally, highlighting the struggle between the two emotions, creating a visually arresting narrative of tension and balance.
