Artist Statement

The emotional tone juxtaposes a feeling of panic, represented through a checker pattern on the left, against a sense of control via mirror patterns on the right. The color palette, 'ancient_fire', incorporates burnt orange and dark red to express intensity and chaos, contrasted with charcoal and gold, which symbolize grounding and order. The primary collision revolves around the tension where chaotic stripes meet the structured mirrors, suggesting an unresolved inner conflict. The layout emphasizes the dichotomy between emotions through a vertical split, with a gradual transition from dense, chaotic textures to calmer, more orderly spaces, echoing the struggle between internal and external forces.
