Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional tension between defiance and submission through contrasting color placement. The palette of warm shades (rose clay, warm shadow) vies against cooler tones (cool blue, distant lilac). The center represents defiance through jagged, glitch-like patterns, while softer, shattered elements around it suggest submission. The uneven borders frame the central turmoil, asserting dominance while leaving space—a nod to quiet amidst chaos. This layout encapsulates a dynamic interplay, with warm colors dominating and cooler ones providing depth, highlighting a struggle for control and the complexity of emotional states.
