Artist Statement
The emotional tone of 'defiance vs submission' lends itself to a palette that contrasts warmth and depth, reflecting the tensions of the emotions involved. The use of yellows and oranges suggests light and hope (defiance), while muted purples and deep blues introduce weight and introspection (submission). The central theme places concentration on the middle, with lighter colors representing defiance, surrounded by darker, more oppressive colors that signify submission. A broken edge style adds to the notion of imperfection and disruption, with some disruptions planned in the left and right mirroring. The color arrangement embodies echo and collision, where the brightest elements push against the darker boundaries, implying a story of conflict and resolution. The overall pattern reflects a balance between chaos and order, showcasing a dynamic interaction between hopeful brightness and deeper weight. Negative space aids in highlighting this dance, preventing overstimulation while encouraging emotional reflection.
