Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between pressure and quiet, creating a dense center that expands outward into softer hues. The dark, compressed colors represent the 'pressure' mood, while the faint peach and off-white provide 'quiet' contrasts. The jagged edges embody hard boundaries while still allowing softer tones to seep through, resembling a battle between clarity and confusion within the structure. The main collision occurs diagonally, where dark shades break apart into lighter tones, echoing the theme of tension and resolution.
