Artist Statement
This piece captures the emotional tension between control and surrender through a clash of structured versus chaotic patterns. The use of a monochrome dark palette ('mourning_black' and 'deep_blue') suggests weight and pressure, while lighter colors like 'pale_yellow' introduce moments of release and contrast. The radial pattern from 'control' layers in a focused deployment, converging towards the center, while 'surrender' manifests in a checker-like disruption. The primary collision occurs in the center, where density pulls against an opened edge, embodying a struggle between containment and overflow.
