Artist Statement

This composition explores the emotional tension between defiance and submission, using a palette of deep navy and black alongside stark white and dim cyan to reflect the struggle between heavy weights and lightness. The choice of colors creates a stark contrast, with the dark edges feeling heavy while the whites suggest a fragile openness in the center. The pattern features a mix of jagged edges and stripes, embodying the conflict and the layered noise the seed suggests. The arrangement is bottom-weighted, leading the viewer's gaze upward, symbolizing the challenge to rise against weight. This abstract pattern channels the complex emotional narrative of betrayal, echoing the central conflicts without depicting them literally.
