Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional struggle between defiance and submission. The palette of 'hunger_restraint', featuring muted cream, iron gray, and red oxide, creates a stark contrast that highlights the themes of tension and contradiction. The central quiet block serves as an unmoving core, surrounded by a jagged edge of chaotic colors, establishing a clear collision. The arrangement emphasizes density in the center, representing defiance, while the peripheral colors suggest submission, creating a rhythmic pulse. This visual storytelling evokes feelings of pressure against restraint, captured in a cage of color.
