Artist Statement

This piece embodies the emotional conflict between defiance and submission through a strong juxtaposition of colors and patterns. The chosen palette, featuring vibrant greens and blues against subtle grays and blacks, reflects the intensity of defiance and the quiet undertones of submission. The main collision occurs towards the center where pulse marks overlap with softer ember patterns, creating a visual representation of conflict. The open gate layout suggests an entrance filled with contrasting energies, allowing for exploration of emotional thresholds while maintaining a balance of negative space.
