Artist Statement

This composition explores the emotional duality of confusion and clarity through contrasting color arrangements. The use of a dark navy and deep black creates a moody foundation, representing confusion and chaos. Meanwhile, single white and dim cyan punctuate the piece, instilling moments of clarity amidst the turmoil. The left-to-right flow symbolizes a journey from chaos to calm, where the thick outlines intersect and diverge. Broken pixels are introduced as interruptions, amplifying the sense of imperfection and imbalance, creating a narrative of persistent tension. The resulting grid structure emphasizes the contrasting patterns—split screen for confusion and radial for clarity—capturing the essence of the emotional experience without becoming literal.
