Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects the interplay of fear and hope, represented through contrasting warm and cool colors. The palette, which includes black, dark violet, soft gold, and pale green, conveys both darkness and light, embodying the tension of emotions colliding. The structure employs an outer border of darker tones to symbolize pressure and fear, while a central grid of gold and green mirrors hope and release. Broken edges enhance the chaotic aspect, allowing for a visual rhythm that zigzags across the canvas. These choices create a sense of unresolved motion, where light disrupts darkness, suggesting the ongoing struggle between fear and hope.
