Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects a struggle between joy and grief, using a palette of bright yellows and muted purples to evoke this push and pull. The sharp contrast between the warm yellow hues and the cool deep blue generates tension, creating a dynamic and vibrant zigzag flow. The arrangement incorporates a mirrored pattern on one side, hinting at order, while crosshatching disrupts it with grief on the other, introducing fragmentation. The 'burned edges' aesthetic adds imperfection, symbolizing the scars of emotion that are present in the pursuit of joy. The juxtaposition of clear shapes against chaotic splotches encapsulates the conflict, where the bright ‘bridge’ of color flirts with darkness, suggesting unresolved feelings that bind joy and grief. Negative space is maintained to allow breathing room, presenting a quiet backdrop for the emotionally charged colors to resonate without overwhelming the canvas.
