Artist Statement

The emotional tone encapsulates the struggle between control and surrender, embodied in the palette of mourning black, deep blue, new leaf, pale yellow, and stone. The dark hues suggest containment and pressure, while the lighter tones evoke a sense of release and gentle surrender. The main collision occurs at the center where the deep blue and pale yellow pulse, reflecting the tension and emotional clash of the two states. The layout of two small centers acknowledges a battle between opposing forces, with quiet spaces ensuring negative space is respected.
