Artist Statement

This abstract piece embodies the tension of soft quietness colliding with dense pressure. The palette includes muted colors like off-white and dust gray to symbolize the quiet, contrasted against compressed red and dark navy to express pressure. The emotional journey is reflected in the placement of colors: darker hues cluster toward one edge, illustrating a build-up of pressure, while lighter tones create a soft horizon across the square, suggesting release. The central crack pattern emerging from the edge gives a sense of shattering against the dominating weight, further enhancing the feeling of conflict within the composition.
