Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional tension of vulnerability against strength. The color palette of warm yellows and muted purples establishes a visual clash, representing the struggle between exposure and protection. The central area is filled with deeper shades, contrasting with the luminous, lighter edge colors. The patterns of pressure bands and scars fuse to create a rhythmic flow, conveying a sense of collision between hard edges and vulnerable spaces, focusing attention towards the center—a metaphor for the invasion of strength into vulnerability.
