Artist Statement

This piece embodies the tension between quietness and pressure through a striking palette and strategic placement of colors. The dark navy and compressed red serve as visual weights that create a sense of pressure, while off-white and faint peach offer a counterpoint of softness, suggesting calm amidst chaos. The main collision occurs diagonally, where the dark and bright colors intersect, creating a dynamic flow as if they are pushing and pulling against each other, reflecting the seed's themes of contrast and conflict.
