Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional tension between fear and hope. The palette of deep blacks and soft golds juxtaposes dark corners with glimmers of light, creating a visual narrative of contrast. The top rows embody fear, utilizing jagged edges and darker hues to elicit pressure and anxiety, while the bottom rows strive to convey hope through softer, upward-flowing patterns of pale green dots. The zigzagging flow suggests a rising signal, contrasting the fragmented dots that hint at brokenness, reflecting a journey from despair towards a flicker of optimism. This layering and interplay evoke the emotional collision of these themes.
