Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the struggle between control and surrender, translating into a visual narrative of overlapping patterns. The palette of navy, black, and dim cyan suggests depth and isolation, while the use of a single white accent creates a sense of hope amidst heaviness. The main collision occurs at the center where dense maze-like patterns of control intersect with softer, threshold patterns reflecting surrender. This creates a tension that hints at a yearning for balance, echoing the central themes of containment and release.
