Artist Statement

The emotional tone centers around the tension between desire and restraint, depicted through an overlapping arrangement of vibrant and muted colors. The palette, featuring red oxide and muted cream, creates a striking contrast, where the heat of desire fights against the coolness of restraint. The main collision occurs in the center, where saturated colors emerge, bursting outward while being held back by muted edges. The shape seed of quiet block inspires a rhythmic pattern that resonates with the push-pull of emotions, capturing the essence of conflict and the struggle for containment.
