Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional tug-of-war between control and surrender through a palette of stark contrasts. The use of electric blue and magenta captures the vibrancy of overflowing emotion, while the anchored black serves as a stabilizing force against the chaos. The central collision of light and dark tones creates a dynamic heart that pulses with energy, reflecting the struggle of letting go amidst structure. The radial pattern hints at control, while the ring formations suggest surrender, manifesting as visual echoes against the locked border of the piece. Negative space is intentionally incorporated to illustrate the void of quiet amid emotional density.
