Artist Statement

This artwork explores the emotional tension between certainty and curiosity. The palette shifts from calm ice blue to vibrant warning orange, representing certainty's clarity contrasted with curiosity's uncertainty. The rising signal layout uses defined bars interrupted by circular echoes, illustrating the push and pull between order and chaos. The clean white fields create negative space that enhances the intensity of the overlapping forms, suggesting a journey upward while maintaining tension and collision.
