Artist Statement

The emotional tone revolves around the tension between vulnerability and protection, represented by the interplay of colors. The palette of greens and browns reflects warmth and grounding safety, while pale and cool tones introduce a sense of exposure and fragility. The central area features a denser patchwork mimicking a 'fold' shape to symbolize the protection offered, while the broader, cooler areas suggest open space and vulnerability. The dominant colors create an intimate center that contrasts sharply with the lighter surroundings, embodying the core theme of 'safety vs. exposure.'
