Artist Statement

The emotional tone navigates the tension between awe (warmth) and terror (darkness). The palette, 'ancient_fire,' emphasizes burnt orange and dark red, suggesting a primal force. The layout is largely empty, echoing the inner conflict—filled areas abruptly interrupting softer hues, symbolizing chaos crashing against ordered softness. This evokes a push-pull dynamic that captures the essence of memory and emotional fragmentation, exemplified by patterns resembling flames interspersed with frames. The interplay of colors reveals asymmetry, offering a rhythmic quality as it draws the eye inward.
