Artist Statement
This artwork captures the tension between joy and grief through a balanced yet chaotic arrangement of colors. The palette draws on bright yellows and oranges representing joy, interspersed with deep blues and muted purples for grief, creating a spectrum of emotional resonance. The center is a cluster of bright colors, signifying protected joy, while the surrounding edges pulse with deeper tones, symbolizing the looming threat of grief. The sharp contrasts create a rhythm that mimics a wave-like motion, reinforcing the insecurities and transitions between states of being.
