Artist Statement

This composition captures the emotional contrast of longing and resolve through a balance of muted and bright colors. The palette transitions from a quiet white and ice blue base to darker violet gray and ink black accents that represent urgency and brokenness. The main collision occurs at the center where scattered 'broken dots' interrupt the calm field, embodying the tension of repair against damage. The edge style is intentionally eroded to suggest fragility, reflecting the theme of a broken mirror, while the negative space in the corners emphasizes the feeling of longing, giving room for contemplation.
