Artist Statement

The emotional tone balances the pressing darkness with soft, muted fields. The palette employs shades of gray and off-white to create a visual tension. Dark navy serves as a firm base, while faint peach introduces a gentle contrast. The primary collision is at the center, where dense, glitch-like patterns emerge from soft ash fields, symbolizing a clash between density and openness. The layout of an overfilled center suggests an explosion of pressure that clings to the edges, evoking the struggle between quiet and tension inherent in the seed.
