Artist Statement
This piece captures the emotional conflict between nostalgia and progress. The palette of electric blue, lime, magenta, and black embodies modernity against a backdrop of memory. The main contrast occurs between the upper vibrant colors and the bottom darker tones, representing hope and despair. The pattern’s layout features a split horizontal divide that reflects the rising urgency of progress while still being grounded by a weight of nostalgia. The drip effect from the top, alongside the bottom weight, symbolizes a struggle to balance memory and forward momentum, leading to an abstract depiction of calm interrupted by bursts of tension.
