Artist Statement

The artwork captures the emotional tension between 'spark' and 'ash.' The palette combines deep blacks with highlights of soft gold to represent bursts of energy against subdued ash gradients. The main collision occurs in the center where patchwork sparks break through the quiet fields of ash, suggesting both a struggle and a release. This interplay reflects the themes of resilience and fragility, translating the seed into an abstract composition rich in contrast and emotional depth.
