Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between tension and ease, embodying the struggle of dread and relief. The chosen palette—pale mint, soft sky, storm gray, near black, and faded gold—contrasts cool tranquility with grounding darkness. The edge style reflects broken lines, contributing to the chaos contrasting with the centered flood pattern representing relief. The primary collision occurs near the center where density meets lighter tones, suggesting an unresolved struggle between order and chaos, all while maintaining a sense of openness with areas intentionally left empty to allow for breathing space.
