Artist Statement
The emotional tone embodies a conflict between control and surrender, represented through a palette of muted and vibrant colors. The colors of off-white and faint peach suggest calmness and subtle warmth, while compressed red and dark navy invoke a sense of pressure and intensity. The primary collision occurs in the center with thick outlines of compressed red interrupting the quieter tones, echoing the theme of overwhelming feelings and the struggle between yielding and containment. This dynamic interaction creates a narrative of tension and release throughout the grid.
