Artist Statement
The emotional tone explores the conflict between feelings of relief and dread. The palette of warm yellow and orange contrasts against deep blue and muted purple, representing warmth against a backdrop of sadness. The main collision occurs where bright hues interact with darker shades, signifying the struggle within the composition. The top-to-bottom flow evokes an ascending motion, while the pattern variations embody the contrast of comfort in light against the weight of darkness. The edges disrupt symmetry, creating a sense of tension and unresolved emotion, reflecting the seed qualities of ascent and descent.
