Artist Statement

This piece encapsulates the dynamic between relief and dread through contrasting colors and patterns. The palette of black, dark violet, soft gold, and pale green embodies a push-pull of emotions, where the deeper shades create weight and tension, while the lighter tones introduce moments of softness and hope. The arrangement reflects a descending motion, symbolizing tears or shadows, with warm accents interrupting the cooler fields, leading to an unresolved tension that balances both calmness and anxious energy.
