Artist Statement

This piece evokes the emotional dichotomy between restlessness and peace through color and pattern. The palette combines stark contrasts of electric blue and dead black to symbolize the frenetic energy of restlessness, while gentle shades of static gray and signal green represent peace. The main collision occurs in the center with a chaotic grid pattern representing restlessness colliding with softer, ring-like motifs symbolizing peace. This reflects the struggle between memory and movement, a state of tension that resolves into a gentle upward climb, capturing the essence of hope amidst chaos.
