Artist Statement
The emotional tone dwells on the interplay between softness and severity, represented through a warm and cool color palette. The palette includes powder pink for warmth and gentleness against carbon black for severity, suggesting a tension between comfort and constraint. The primary contrast occurs in the center, where warm and dark hues collide, creating a pulse of intensity that feels both alive and restricted. The seed inspired a pattern of soft lapping edges fighting against angular lines, echoing the conflicting emotions of guilt and forgiveness, expressed through gentle overlaps and stark interruptions.
