Artist Statement

This composition reflects a tension between quiet and pressure. The heavy center filled with darker hues represents compressed density, while the lighter corners create a sense of space and air. The palette, with its muted tones of off-white and dust gray contrasted by compressed red, allows for both soft and sharp contrasts. The main collision of dark navy against faint peach occurs diagonally, creating a visual argument of resistance and flow, echoing the theme of breaking symmetry. The arrangement signals transformation and ambiguity consistent with the seed's emotional exploration.
