Artist Statement

This composition embodies the tension between softness and severity through a contrast of light and dark colors. The palette features gentle hues of powder pink and warm white juxtaposed with the starkness of carbon black and steel gray. The density is bottom-weighted, drawing the eye downward while the lighter upper colors suggest an opening, providing a visual 'gate'. The main collision occurs in the central area where softness, represented by vertical channels, meets the strict negative cross pattern of severity. This marks a struggle between emotional forces, reflecting guilt and forgiveness, creating interpersonal dialogue across the square.
