Artist Statement

This piece embodies the emotional struggle between quietness and pressure, represented through a palette that balances muted tones with contrasting depths. The darker colors symbolize density and pressure while the softer hues create moments of calm. The diagonal layout emphasizes a push-pull dynamic, fostering a sense of tension across the square. The collision of color patterns captures the essence of interruption and flow, suggesting a movement both forward and against the tide.
