Artist Statement

The emotional tone expresses a dichotomy between desire and restraint, illustrated through contrasting warm and cool colors. The palette combines hot coral, blood orange, and dust pink to convey desire, while charcoal and hollow blue represent the calm yet confining nature of restraint. The deliberate collision is centered, where bright colors erupt against the darker hues, suggesting the conflict between overwhelming passion and inhibition. This abstract arrangement embodies undulating patterns of pressure and release, while the negative spaces maintain a balance to reflect moments of pause amidst chaos.
