Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between defiance and submission, with strong contrasts in color representing the tension of these states. The palette of dark navy and black serves to create a sense of depth, while single white and dim cyan punctuate the composition, mirroring moments of intrusion or submission. The main collision occurs in the top left corner, a dense accumulation of dark colors that contrasts sharply with the lighter hues emanating from that area, symbolizing sparks of defiance against a backdrop of enclosure. This arrangement captures the essence of the themes from the seed, as colors clash yet also maintain a delicate balance, reflecting the complexity of inner conflicts.
