Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects a tumultuous struggle between envy and gratitude, where gratitude seeks light amid the shadows of envy. The palette, inspired by the 'broken_memory' theme, captures muted tones that suggest a soft, fading past—sepia and dust gray represent despair, while faded blue offers a glimpse of hope. The main contrast lies at the center, where light panels intersect with darker edges, evoking a push-and-pull dynamic. This arrangement reflects the seed's themes of movement, tension, and the overlapping emotional states transitioning from fear to hope.
