Artist Statement

The artwork plays with the tension between strength and vulnerability through a dark palette contrasted with soft illuminations. The navy and black serve as the strong foundation, while hints of dim cyan and white represent the softer moments of exposure. The main collision occurs at the center, where the thin light edges contrast against dense dark corners, emphasizing the fragile nature of connection amidst alienation. The pattern reflects a diagonal dynamic, reinforcing the push and pull between exposure and shelter: a visual metaphor for emotional states stemming from the seed.
