Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional push and pull of 'desire' against 'restraint'. The warm tones symbolize yearning, while the cool tones suggest inhibition. The pattern features a central density representing desire, surrounded by peaceful quieter pixels that denote resistance. The collision dominates the center, highlighting the struggle between these emotions. Saturated colors meet muted shades, creating a visual narrative of seeking yet being held back, reflecting the tension suggested in the seed.
