Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the tension between desire and restraint, highlighted by a palette that contrasts vibrant hues with muted tones. The rich reds and small oranges signify the overwhelming nature of desire, while the blackened plum and muted cream represent restraint. The layout suggests a feeling of being encased yet fractured, with a predominant flow of color indicating pressure. The central collision occurs between the vibrant and subdued colors, creating an emotional peak in the center while leaving space for quiet reflection at the edges, echoing the push and pull of longing.
