Artist Statement

This piece conveys a dynamic emotional interplay between the fleeting energy of 'spark' and the subdued remnants of 'ash.' The chosen palette of cosmic indigo, void black, star white, cold gold, and deep teal emphasizes the struggle between vitality and decay. The main contrast emerges in a diagonal collision of bright and muted areas in the center, depicting two pulsations facing off against a backdrop of negative space, creating a rhythmic balance of tension. The pattern choices - 'stairs' for ash and 'rain' for spark - create a layered effect that suggests movement, memory, and the paradox of resilience amidst fragility.
