Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the struggle between desire and restraint, utilizing a palette that balances warm reds and oranges with muted grays and browns. The color placement creates a dynamic contrast where heat bursts against cooler, contained edges, resembling a push-and-pull tension. The rising layout indicates hope, while the patterns of spark and shatter visually collide, representing emotional turmoil and fractures. This arrangement encapsulates the essence of love and betrayal without forming identifiable icons, focusing instead on the abstraction of feelings through color and placement.
