Artist Statement

The emotional tone explores the tension between quiet and pressure, using a palette that invokes stillness with off-white and faint peach as the calm backdrop, contrasted by the dense, compressed red and dark navy representing pressure. The layout focuses on one corner packing density with stacked patterns, causing a dynamic escape to the quieter space across the grid, reflecting the notion of 'shatter against tide.' The main collision occurs along the diagonal, where two emotions disrupt each other, creating a visual narrative of conflict and resolution.
