Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the duality of softness and severity, conveyed through a palette that oscillates between warm whites and deep blacks, indicating tension and harmony. The harsh contrast of carbon black against the gentle powder pink creates a visual collision at the center, symbolizing the intersection of excess and restraint. The recipe of split screen for severity and stepwell for softness manifests in the arrangement, where bands of color pulse upward in a dynamic rhythm from darkest to lightest, creating an echo of reflection and unresolved motion. This inviting interplay between colors represents contrasting emotional energies, capturing the intricate balance of guilt and forgiveness, where darkness looms yet light persists.
