Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects a tension between dread and relief, symbolized by darker shades on the top that slowly give way to lighter colors. The palette features a contrast of storm gray and near black dominating the upper region, creating a sense of pressure, while pale mint and soft sky emerge toward the bottom, providing a breath of relief. The collision occurs where the deeper colors meet the blooming softer mints, embodying the shift from oppression to openness. The lattice pattern indicates relief, whereas the embers signify the lingering dread. The overall arrangement follows a two-pulses layout, with a gradient from heavy to light, representing an emotional release.
