Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between the vibrant intensity of desire and the cooling presence of restraint. The palette utilizes 'red oxide' and 'small orange' to evoke warmth and craving, while 'blackened plum' and 'iron gray' introduce a sense of containment and tension. The clash between the warm lattice patterns and the rigid hinge-like structures symbolizes desire trying to break free from restraining edges, with the main collision taking place centrally, creating an intricate dynamic between expansion and limitation.
