Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional duality of quietness and pressure. The palette features muted tones like off-white and dust gray, offset by compressed red and dark navy, illustrating the contrast between calm and chaotic. The collision occurs where denser, sharper blocks of color cluster towards the center, suggesting pressure, while quieter, softer hues recede to form open space at the edges. The diagonal argument of color placement reflects tension rising from the bottom left to top right, mimicking a spiral flow that disrupts symmetry, representing a dynamic conversation between stillness and chaos.
