Artist Statement

This piece conveys the emotional dichotomy of fear and hope through a contrasting palette of dark violet juxtaposed with soft gold. The use of jagged edges and broken dots creates a sense of tension, with darker areas suggesting encroaching fear and lighter zones illuminating hope. A central area maintains a lighter glow, symbolizing hope's persistence amidst pressure. The vertical split emphasizes the collision between elevated hope and the weight of fear. This layout portrays a flow from dark to light while maintaining crucial negative space.
