Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures a battle between defiance and submission, represented through contrasting colors and placements. The palette of 'ancient fire' evokes a sense of warmth and intensity but also tension in the collision between burnt orange and dark red. The bottom-weighted frame suggests heaviness and an anchoring force, while the noise pattern disrupts calmness, echoing the emotional conflict. Rows of muted backgrounds with sudden bursts of color reflect the theme of submission versus defiance, creating an unresolved narrative of love and betrayal.
