Artist Statement
The artwork explores the emotional tension between control and surrender. The palette features navy and black as dense foundational colors, with dim cyan providing subtle accents that convey a lonely signal amidst the darkness. The pattern reflects a diagonal invasion from the corner, suggesting overpowering control, while stacked layers of color attempt to disrupt the stillness, hinting at surrender. The intersection of the two patterns creates a focal conflict in the center, representing a balance between pressure and release, echoing the seed's themes of conflict.
