Artist Statement

This composition reflects the emotional tension between panic and control through contrasting color choices and dynamic placement. The black and red colors represent intensity and urgency, conveying panic, while the pale blue and white suggest calm and control. The main contrast occurs between the dense clusters of black and red on the left side and the lighter tones on the right, creating a visual echo of chaos meeting serenity. The layout follows a mirror-broken pattern, emphasizing asymmetry and imperfection, mirroring the challenges of balancing these emotions.
