Artist Statement

The emotional tone balances quiet and pressure, creating a conflict that oscillates throughout the grid. The palette, a mix of off-white, dust gray, and compressed red, hints at soothing calm juxtaposed with tension. The central arrangement, featuring a loose cluster of dark navy, suggests pressure while the surrounding faint peach and off-white breathes quietness. The main collision occurs diagonally, where pressure meets the softness of quiet, embodying tension through soft edges contrasting sharper colors. Overall, it's an exploration of how pressure and release interact within a contained space.
