Artist Statement

This composition contrasts the strength of dark colors with the vulnerability of lighter tones, creating a visual representation of emotional tension. The palette, derived from 'melancholy wonder,' highlights soft blues and muted plums to evoke both peace and longing. The left side, which embodies strength, is structured with spark patterns, providing a sense of stability. Conversely, the right side employs stripes to signify vulnerability through a less rigid formation. The main collision occurs in the center, where these contrasting patterns intersect, suggesting the ongoing struggle between protection and exposure.
