Artist Statement

The tone combines the heaviness of pressure with the lightness of quiet, forming a contrast that shapes the entire piece. The palette features deep navy and compressed red to reflect pressure, while off-white and faint peach introduce moments of calm. The central collision occurs where dark hues create a crowded center, breaking into lighter tones at the edges, symbolizing the tension between being overwhelmed and finding escape. The seed metaphor of 'tear' emphasizes jagged edges and emotional tension, resulting in a composition that suggests conflict and resolution.
