Artist Statement
The emotional tone of nostalgia vs progress creates a landscape of contemplation. The selected palette with shades of red, black, pale blue, and white reflects this conflict, enhancing the tension between warm emotions of nostalgia and the coolness of progress. The main contrast occurs along the horizontal split, where darker tones converge with lighter shades, symbolizing the weight of memory against the clarity of future aspirations. The patterns, mirroring and rain, interlace to evoke a dance of remembrance and advancement. This composition allows for negative space, echoing the absence felt in nostalgia, while the full and hollow contrasts suggest a dynamic interplay between the two emotional states.
