Artist Statement
The emotional tone explores the dichotomy between envy and gratitude, where the palette juxtaposes warm pinks against darker maroon and gray, symbolizing the struggle between light and weight. The contrast is most apparent in the center where bright tones clash with heavier hues, reflecting a collision of emotions. The pattern of soft edges meets jagged ones, signifying how gratitude can soften the sharpness of envy. The layout encourages a sense of imbalance, with elements pulling inward and pushing outward, leading to a feeling of unresolved tension.
