Artist Statement
The emotional tone resonates with the tension between vulnerability and strength. The selected palette of pale mint, soft sky, and storm gray represents a gradient from exposure to deeper emotional shelter. The contrast manifests mostly through the central row, where colors collide in a 'negative cross' pattern, suggesting a stark interaction between softness and strength. The layout creates a narrow channel of negative space, emphasizing separation and exposure amid the density of surrounding colors, reflecting the complex narrative of vulnerability covered by a framework of strength.
