Artist Statement
The emotional tone navigates the juxtaposition of joy and grief through a palette of warm and cool tones. The selection of yellow and orange expresses joy, while deep blue and muted purple encapsulate grief. The layout centralizes contrasting energies with a bold split of light against dark, reflecting the inner struggle of contrasting feelings. The pattern employs a 'spark' to suggest joy's vibrant bursts amidst the weighty 'target' representing grief, creating tension. Main collisions occur at the boundaries of bright and muted blocks, exemplifying the push and pull of emotions.
