Artist Statement

The composition embodies the tension between desire and restraint, where saturated colors pulse against muted backgrounds. The chosen palette creates a stark contrast, with deep tones representing restraint and vibrant hues symbolizing desire. The pattern of dots on one side interacts with a structured grid on the other, visually colliding and overlapping, thus illustrating the battle between these emotions. The central tension point, located in the middle, captures the essence of both emotions, while giving space to the border edges that signify sealed boundaries.
