Artist Statement

The emotional tone embodies a tug-of-war between control and surrender, suggesting a central conflict. The palette, 'fear_hope,' employs deep blacks and dark violets to symbolize the weight of control, juxtaposed with soft golds and pale greens that represent a yearning for release. The main collision occurs in the center, where dark colors struggle against lighter, more fluid shades, manifesting an overfilled center that hints at a release yet tethered to the structure. The patterns clash as echoes of rhythm meet the fragmented surrender, forming a complex narrative of tension, pressure, and the quest for balance amidst chaos.
