Artist Statement

This artwork conveys the emotional tension between destruction and rebirth, where muted ash tones embody restraint against vivid spark colors representing hunger and vitality. The palette of blacks, dark violets, soft golds, and pale greens reflects a balance between despair and hope, with the primary contrast occurring at the vertical center, symbolizing a split screen effect where light meets dark. The jagged edges and lattice pattern create a sense of interrupted memory, suggesting resilience amidst fragility. The arrangement allows for a dynamic interplay of visual weight, creating a thickened emotional surface that invites contemplation.
