Artist Statement
This piece explores the emotional contrast between joy and grief through a structured layout that ascends, indicative of hope yet shadowed by sorrow. The palette, including warm yellows and oranges symbolizing joy, and deep blues and muted purples representing grief, creates a vivid interplay. The 'stair_step' pattern introduces dynamic movement, while hard edges lend a sense of tension. The arrangement prioritizes contrast, with warm colors rising against darker tones, creating an uneasy but rich emotional landscape.
