Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional tension between defiance and submission through color placement and contrast. The palette consists of deep wine and warm ivory, reflecting warmth and resistance against a backdrop of cooler, softer tones like ash gray and stain brown. The main collision occurs at the core where radial patterns representing submission meet the jagged, angular edges embodying defiance, creating a visual push-pull effect that invites the viewer to explore the dynamic space. This reflects the seed's division of forces, illustrating conflict and resolution without literal interpretation.
