Artist Statement

The artwork captures the emotional tension between vulnerability and strength through a palette of muted purple and deep blue, contrasting with vibrant yellows and oranges that represent the core of vulnerability. The layout emphasizes a border that feels both protective and breached, allowing for light to seep through. The maze pattern reflects vulnerability’s chaotic nature, while the stepwell structure of strength provides a stable foundation. The collision occurs mostly at the center, where the colors interact, creating a push-pull dynamic of exposure and security.
