Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength, represented through a mix of warm and cool colors. The palette emphasizes connection and alienation with a strong focus on warm coral and cold slate. The main collision occurs as the soft amber 'teeth' pattern of vulnerability intersperses with the dense constellation pattern of strength, creating a visual tension where light and shadow meet. This reflects the duality of human experience, as different pressures and flows interact in the grid: an entrance on one side and an anchored center contrasting with flowing edges to symbolize the push and pull of emotions influenced by the seed.
