Artist Statement

The emotional tone is centered around the interplay of envy and gratitude, reflecting inner turmoil and external pressure. The chosen palette of deep blacks, intense reds, and soft blues evokes a spectrum from rage to calm, creating a tension that manifests through color placement. The contrast between the dark and bright areas symbolizes emotional collisions, with the central lines (shape seed) representing strength amidst chaos. The layout flows upward, suggesting hope or release, while maintaining negative space around densely packed colors, which enhances the overall perception of pressure and relief.
