Artist Statement

This composition explores the emotional tension between softness and severity, utilizing a palette of powder pink, warm white, steel gray, sharp crimson, and carbon black. The main contrast occurs in the bottom left where dark tones collide with warm pastels, symbolizing a weighty foundation against a lighter, more airy backdrop. The loop of radial pulse marks against the spiral theme suggests a continuous movement of emotional conflict and resolution as they interact asymmetrically, emphasizing the tension between crowded thoughts and serene spaces.
