Artist Statement
This artwork embodies the emotional tension of control and surrender through its contrasting color palette and spatial arrangement. The dominant dark navy represents containment and pressure, contrasting with the lighter off-white and faint peach that symbolize release and openness. The design features a broken rhythm where thick borders clash with softer forms, creating a visual echo of struggle and grace. The off-center focus hints at the idea of overflow, layered with interruptions to create depth and complexity. Overall, it reflects the delicate balance between firm control and gentle release.
