Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures the struggle between defiance and submission, using a palette that contrasts quiet pressure against stark interruptions. The contrast arises predominantly in the top half which reflects defiant energy (spark pattern) with deeper shades and sharp breaks, while the lower half embodies a withdrawn submission (echo pattern) with softer hues. The arrangement facilitates a diagonal rise in tension, creating a pulse that resonates through the composition. This interplay embodies a threshold where emotions collide.
