Artist Statement
The emotional tone blends awe and terror, creating a distinct contrast between deep, dark colors and soft gold highlights. The palette emphasizes fear (dark violet and black) against glimpses of hope (soft gold and pale green), representing the push and pull between order and chaos. The use of dots signifies moments of awe scattered amidst a chaotic background, with the dense left side gradually leading to more negative space on the right, allowing the viewer to feel both suffocation and relief. The broken line shape seed is abstracted into wavy overlaps across the grid, suggesting fluidity within instability.
