Artist Statement
The emotional tension between vulnerability and strength is expressed through a palette that balances muted tones of gray (dust_gray, dark_navy) with hinting sparks of compressed_red and faint_peach. The main collision occurs at the center, where soft pulses of the exposed colors clash against the heavier, stable blocks framing the edge, creating a narrative of conflict and resolution. This abstraction draws on the suggested ideas of exposure versus shelter, dominating the perspective with strength while allowing vulnerability to seep through in layers.
