Artist Statement

The emotional tone of vulnerability and strength is echoed through a split palette of dark cosmic indigo and void black contrasted with the bright star white and cold gold. The upper half embodies strength with dense ember-like clusters, while the lower half showcases a ripple effect representing vulnerability. The main collision occurs at the center, where the dark base meets the luminous highlights, creating a tension that suggests both resilience and fragility. The choice of a porous edge style creates a sense of openness, echoing the duality of exposure and shelter in the seed.
