Artist Statement

This artwork explores the thematic contrast of vulnerability and strength through a color palette reflecting tension and repose. The choice of a pale mint as the central tone signifies exposure, while deeper storm gray and near black provide a protective backdrop, illustrating strength. The clearer colors, reminiscent of a gentle tide, clash and overlap, creating a main collision in the center that suggests both disruption and the possibility of shelter. The layout presents a scattered repair motif, where brighter pixels indicate moments of hope amidst vulnerability. The emotional landscape flows with a sense of sweeping motion, epitomizing the ongoing struggle between safety and exposure.
