Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional conflict of restlessness and peace, using the palette to reflect tension (deep teal, cosmic indigo) and calmness (star white). The grid pattern communicates the rigidity of restlessness, while the gentle embers reach outward to evoke peace. The main collision occurs at the center, where dark colors clash with lighter hues, emphasizing the struggle between movement and stillness. Dark edges signify restraint, while lighter centers suggest a yearning for space, creating a compelling narrative of internal conflict and resolution.
