Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional duel between vulnerability and strength. The palette, comprising deep indigo and stark black against the soft tones of gold and teal, emphasizes a drama of light and shadow—a metaphor for the inner strength that resides within apparent frailty. The collision occurs around the center, where a dense patchwork of color represents vulnerability, interspersed with sharp geometric flames that evoke strength. This interplay creates an engaging visual tension, suggesting an ongoing negotiation between opposing forces.
