Artist Statement

The artwork explores the emotional conflict between defiance and submission through a primarily dark palette, evoking a sense of tension and unease. The use of deep wine and stain brown provides a warm yet heavy foundation, symbolizing submission's weight, while the vibrant accents in soft gold disrupt the quiet with bursts of defiance. The patterns of broken dots and frames create a chaotic rhythm that echoes toward the center, where the main collision of colors occurs. Here, the contrasting emotions coil tightly around an off-center focal point, representing the ever-present struggle between control and chaos.
