Artist Statement

The emotional tone of the piece juxtaposes the vibrant energy of 'spark' with the subdued essence of 'ash'. The palette of pale mint, soft sky, and faded gold represents the warmth and potential of life, contrasted against storm gray and near-black to embody restraint and loss. A radial pattern emerges in the central point, demonstrating a strong focal area where the bursts of joy collide sharply against the softer, denser ash-like edges, reflecting on resilience against fragility. The layout emphasizes pressure building in one corner, pushed against gradual release, creating a dynamic flow across the grid, inviting viewers into a contemplative dialogue of emotional contrasts.
