Artist Statement

The composition captures a dynamic emotional tone, juxtaposing the warmth of 'relief' against the weight of 'dread'. The chosen palette, inspired by ancient fire, employs burnt orange and gold for lightness, contrasting sharply with dark reds and charcoals that embody heaviness. The layout emphasizes mirrored symmetry with subtle breaks enhancing an underlying tension, while the interplay of striped and ring patterns evokes a sense of rhythm and interruption. The arrangement strategically leaves open spaces, reflecting the theme of emptiness, yet also compelling viewers to grapple with the presence of dense clusters that echo feelings of rage and calm simultaneously.
