Artist Statement

This piece embodies the emotional tension between envy and gratitude, with contrasting patterns of rising and falling colors. The palette, featuring pink, red, gray, and dark maroon, evokes a sense of emotional complexity, where warmth fights against darker tones reflecting uncertainty and fear. The contrasting symmetrical and broken elements create a visual push-pull, where soft edges signify vulnerability and abrupt noise represents chaotic thoughts. The arrangement leaves significant negative space, allowing the viewer to feel the weight of absence and longing.
