Artist Statement

This artwork captures the tension between defiance and submission. The dense center represents an unmoved core of brightness (defiance), while the muted edges symbolize a receding softness (submission). The palette, a gradient of bright yellows and oranges against deep blues and muted purples, creates a contrasting emotional landscape. The main collision happens at the center, where the vibrant grid of defiance meets the intricate spark pattern of submission, illustrating a struggle that remains unresolved. This reflects themes of conflict and coexistence, embodied through the chosen color and structure.
