Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional tension between gratitude and envy, interpreted as a dialogue of warm and cool colors. The black and dark violet represent the weight of envy, while the soft gold and pale green suggest lightness and gratitude. The center displays a gathering of soft gold dots, symbolizing gratitude, surrounded by a jagged edge of dark violets and blacks signifying the noise of envy. The contrast highlights the emotional collision. The arrangement flows inward, creating a soft pressure against an empty room, evoking a sense of unresolved yearning while maintaining negative space.
