Artist Statement

This composition explores the emotional dichotomy of 'desire vs restraint' through a palette that contrasts warm and cool hues. The reds of desire dissolve into carefully laid muted grays, representing restraint. The grid pattern fights against the more chaotic thread, illustrating the push and pull of these emotions. The center features a collision of warm reds and oranges amidst cooler, restrained colors, symbolizing the conflict and ultimately unresolved tension. Broken pixels punctuate this interplay, representing disruptions in the emotional landscape.
