Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects the tension between nostalgia and progress. The palette, embodying shades of pink, gray, and dark maroon, conveys warmth and heaviness, while maintaining a sense of balance. The dramatic split creates a horizontal contrast where the upper half suggests upward trends (progress) with dynamic bursts of color, while the lower half evokes a sense of grounding and heaviness (nostalgia) with darker, more muted tones. The arrangement of colors forms a scenario of tension where the vibrant hues drip downwards, symbolizing a pull towards the past that struggles against the pull of the future.
