Artist Statement

This composition evokes a duality between vulnerability and strength through its fluid placement of colors. The off-white and faint peach create a soft, exposed center, while the darker tones of dust gray and dark navy provide a sense of armor, emphasizing the edges. The interspersed compressed red serves as an accent, symbolizing moments of intrusion amidst strong structure. The collision occurs centrally, where lighter textures confront the denser patterns, portraying the tension in the seed concept of exposure vs. shelter.
