Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability. The selected palette of sepia, dust gray, tan, and faded blue reflects historical memories and softness. The collision happens at the center where the structured 'stepwell' pattern of strength meets the chaotic 'grid' of vulnerability, creating tension through overlapping colors. The arrangement suggests a flooded yet stacked space, with negative space allowing the viewer to breathe amid the pressure.
