Artist Statement

The emotional tone is rooted in the tension between gentle safety (represented by warm brown and soft green) and the acute exposure (reflected through open blue and pale skin tones). The palette creates a contrast of security and vulnerability, with heavier colors used towards the left, suggesting an encroaching presence, while lighter hues echo towards the right. The dominant collision occurs in the center, where the colors intertwine, signifying the interaction of competing feelings, contrasting the structured 'ladder' of safety against the disordered 'constellation' of exposure. The result is a layered and complex composition that embodies both a protective enclosure and an invitation towards openness, reflecting the intricacies of emotional experiences.
