Artist Statement

The emotional tone embodies a conflict between relief and dread, reflecting the balance of presence and absence. The palette, mixing soft mint, pale sky, and deep gray accents with vivid gold, illustrates the transition from tension to open space. The main contrast occurs at the edges, where dense gray clusters conflict with airy mint fields, suggesting a chaotic release as orderly structures dissipate. Spiral influences and broken patterns create a visual narrative of pressure and spaciousness, steering the viewer from an oppressive center toward an expansive edge.
