Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional conflict between emptiness and desire. The color palette, dominated by hot coral and blood orange, reflects a gathered glow of longing amidst a faint perimeter of hollow blue and charcoal, representing restraint. The arrangement balances saturation with quiet spaces—highlighting a central, dense cluster echoing desire that collides with a calm border suggesting containment. The pattern's ripple effect and scar-like interruptions manifest the struggle between overflow and restriction, as contrasting colors disrupt any sense of uniformity.
