Artist Statement

This artwork explores the emotional duality between awe and terror. The palette, featuring deep navy, stark black, and subtle dim cyan, creates a stark contrast that embodies both the weight of fear and the lightness of wonder. The arrangement emphasizes a central core of structured calm, surrounded by chaotic, broken patterns signifying instability. The use of dots on the outer edge represents awe while the inner spark-like patterns convey terror, creating visual tension through strength and fragility, reflecting the complexities of human emotions.
