Artist Statement
The emotional tone of control vs surrender is depicted through contrasting layers of color. A central core of warm whites and pinks suggests a gentle surrender, surrounded by jagged legions of darks grays and blacks to represent the pressure of containment. The warm tones dominate the center, representing a release that is stifled by the thick outline of cooler colors around it, echoing the hinge concept. The balance of color creates an abstract narrative of struggle between surrendering and the pressures of control.
