Artist Statement

The piece embodies the emotional duality of vulnerability and strength through a layered palette of sepia and faded blue, representing the delicate interplay between soft and firm elements. The palette evokes a sense of nostalgia and memory, while the main contrast occurs between dense, dark bands representing strength and lighter, softer areas indicating vulnerability. This contrast imprints a visual story of resilience under pressure, where the central collision of saturated colors meets the quieter, washed-out edges, creating a dynamic interplay of emotion.
