Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the tension between pressure and quietude. The upper four rows, filled with off-white, dust gray, and faint peach, create a soft lattice pattern that evokes a muted field, suggesting tranquility. In contrast, the lower four rows shift to darker navy and compressed red, symbolizing density and pressure. The asymmetry emphasizes a collision, where the quiet flows into the more jagged, intense colors below, creating a visual dialogue of oppositional forces. The edge style introduces eroded borders, enhancing the dynamic interaction between softness and sharpness, suggesting a continuous push-pull of emotions.
