Artist Statement

This piece expresses a dynamic interplay between quiet and pressure. The palette consists of muted tones like off-white and dust gray to create a feeling of stillness, contrasted by the compressed red and dark navy, which evoke a sense of weight and tension. The sharp edges symbolize the hard contrast between the two emotions. The pattern flows from dense clusters on the left, suggesting pressure, loosening into a quiet gradient on the right, representing release, while negative spaces punctuate the canvas to draw attention to the emotional conflict.
