Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between fear and hope, visualized through a strategic use of dark and light colors. The color palette consists of deep blacks and dark violets symbolizing fear at the edges, contrasted by soft gold and pale green representing hope at the center. This creates a push-and-pull dynamic, with sharp jagged edges reflecting vulnerability and a fragile, glowing center indicating resilience. The placement follows a corner invasion layout, suggesting that fear encroaches from the bottom, while hope glimmers from the center, creating a visual narrative of struggle and aspiration.
