Artist Statement

This composition evokes the tension between quietude and pressure. The palette, featuring off-white and faint peach as softer tones contrasted with darker navy and compressed red, embodies the emotional spectrum. The collision occurs centrally, where darker tones push against lighter edges, simulating the struggle between calmness and chaos. The layout mirrors on the left and right, with slight breaks in the symmetry to visually represent tension—a nod to the seed's theme of imbalance. The patterns of 'ash_field' and 'frame' intermingle, illustrating the conflict and union of opposing emotions through their placement.
