Artist Statement
The emotional tone captures the tension between envy and gratitude, reflected in the interplay of dark and light colors. The chosen palette of black, dark violet, soft gold, and pale green creates a stark contrast, with the dark colors representing envy and the lighter shades symbolizing gratitude. The outer border is dense with dark tones, while the inner 4x4 reflects a lighter, more open pattern symbolizing gratitude. The contrast and collision happen in the shift from the dense rim to the emptiness in the center, illustrating a journey from inward pressure to outward release, guided by the core themes of weight versus lightness and broken mirrors. This translates the seed's complexities into abstract patterns without literal representation.
