Artist Statement

This piece embodies the tension between control and surrender, using a palette that contrasts the coolness of ice blue and violet gray with the warmth of warning orange. The organization emphasizes control through the structured outline made of black, while the soft yielding of surrender is captured in the scattered lighter colors that provide a sense of overflow. The main collision occurs at the center, where dark edges meet vivid accents, suggesting a conflict between the two emotional states. Negative space around the central elements creates a spaciousness that invites contemplation, echoing the themes of isolation and a lonely signal.
