Artist Statement
The emotional tone explores the battle between joy and grief, represented through contrasting colors and structure. The palette combines bright yellows and oranges representing joy against muted blues and purples that evoke grief. The hard edges symbolize tension 'split screen' effect while introducing a stair-step pattern that moves from light to dark, implying a journey through emotions. The contrast happens predominantly in the diagonal flow, where vibrant colors collide with heavy tones, suggesting unresolved feelings and a path from light to shadow.
