Artist Statement
The emotional tone hinges on the tension between defiance and submission, manifesting as a dense island of energy amidst a quieter sea of colors. The palette comprises bright and dark colors, with lime and electric blue representing defiance and energy, while black and magenta signify submission and encirclement. The main contrast occurs in the center where a cluster of bright colors collides against the enveloping dark hues that evoke a sense of calm yet heavy submission. This arrangement highlights a struggle, echoing the ideas of signal vs noise, where vibrant blocks push against the calmer backdrop, creating an abstract tension reflective of the seed.
