Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects a tension between vulnerability and strength, portraying a soft exposed center (light colors) met by a denser, darker border (reds and grays). The palette invokes feelings of love and betrayal, with muted tones surrounded by bold accents. The main collision resides in the center, where a flood of light colors challenges the stability of dark edges, representing an interplay of safety and exposure. The patterns—rings for vulnerability and stacks for strength—overlap, creating a tension that mirrors the emotional complexity inherent in the seed.
