Artist Statement

This artwork portrays the tension between quiet and pressure through a carefully arranged color palette that reflects these emotions. The use of off-white and faint peach create a soft, soothing base, representing quiet. In contrast, the darker hues of dark navy and compressed red are strategically placed to denote pressure, emphasizing weight and intensity. The layout features a dense, dark border that gives way to lighter colors in the center, illustrating the flow from pressure to release. The collision occurs around the center where these two emotional states meet, creating an area of tension and interaction.
