Artist Statement

The emotional tone emerges from the contrasting themes of confinement (control) and liberation (surrender). The chosen palette of navy, black, single white, and dim cyan reflects a mix of density and isolation, enhancing the feeling of disquiet. The main collision occurs in the center with a burst of bright white against the dark, muted background, symbolizing a struggle between two opposing forces. The arrangement of quiet fields and islands captures this tension, evoking a sense of pressure being released amidst defined boundaries.
