Artist Statement
The emotional tone is a dance between control and surrender, represented by contrasting colors. The warmer tones highlight bursts of pressure, while cooler shades contain and offer moments of calm. This narrative is embodied in thick outlines that define the borders, suggesting structural control, while the lattice pattern of cooler colors symbolizes gentle yielding. The shape seed of a star provides a guiding metaphor, yet the composition feels open and uncontained, with soft gold and deep wine at the center to evoke a sense of overflow. The contrasting flows blend and collide, setting the stage for a dynamic visual experience.
