Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional struggle between pressure and quiet through a contrasting palette that balances warm and cool tones. The dominant dark navy and vivid compressed red represent pressure and vibrant clusters, while faint peach and off-white offer a release and softening in the edges. The collision occurs at the center, where the warmth of compressed red disrupts the cooler off-white, suggesting a conflict between dense emotion and serene space. The use of shattered patterns evokes a sense of breaking free, while the gentle wave vertical flow embodies a movement of overcoming tension.
