Artist Statement
The work captures the emotional tension between relief and dread through sharp contrasts in color and arrangement. The palette combines burnt orange and dark red to evoke a sense of raw conflict, symbolizing rage tempered by calm. The broken edges suggest the fragility of the emotional experience, while the zigzag flow mimics the chaotic navigation through these feelings. The darker colors dominate the top, reflecting weight and pressure, while bursts of lighter hues break through, providing moments of relief amidst the heaviness.
