Artist Statement

This composition explores the emotional tension of 'relief' and 'dread' through a palette of stark contrasts, representing heavy and light feelings. The dominant black signifies dread, while sporadic touches of pale blue and white evoke moments of relief. The arrangement, top-weighted, creates a visual imbalance, enhancing the core theme of a struggle between oppressive weight and fleeting solace. The intentional interruptions of lighter colors against darker fields form a rhythmic echo, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of these emotions.
