Artist Statement

The emotional tone centers around the tension between desire (represented through warm, saturated colors) and emptiness (depicted by lower saturation shades). The palette suggests a conflict: vibrant pinks and oranges clash against deep charcoal and subdued blues, illustrating a push-pull of abundance versus restriction. The contrast occurs primarily in the center, where the colors interrupt one another to evoke a sense of collision. This pattern captures the essence of the seed's narrative—a dichotomy of yearning and limit, shaped by dynamic interactions of color placement.
