Artist Statement
The emotional tone juxtaposes joy and grief, represented through a vibrant color palette of yellows and oranges against muted purples and deep blues. This creates a striking contrast where joy erupts in spark-like movements while grief is depicted as heavier, muted noise. The hard edges instigate a feeling of order versus chaos, with the patterns designed to signify tension in the center and a gradual release towards the edges. The layout reflects the concept of an empty room, signifying a dialogue between presence and absence, where the central staccato patterns of joy collide with the softer, noise-like patterns of grief, creating an abstract visual representation of dual emotional states.
