Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects the struggle between light and dark, with joy represented by bright yellows and oranges and grief by deep blues and muted purples. The main contrast occurs at the center, where bright noise collides with the heavy radial patterns of sorrow. This arrangement symbolizes the rise of hope and light through layers of grief, illustrated by the vertical flow that mimics a stair-step, inviting upward movement against a backdrop of hard edges. The composition retains negative space, reinforcing moments of stillness amidst the emotional turbulence.
