Artist Statement

The artwork balances feelings of control and surrender through a tension between structured echo patterns and a loose hinge layout. The palette features warm browns and calming greens, evoking a sense of safety intertwined with exposure. A dominant cool blue contrasts sharply against the overfilled center, creating a visual narrative of containment versus release, where the color density creates echoes of conflict, while interruptions in pattern symbolize stutters and the pressure of boundaries.
