Artist Statement

This composition embodies the tension between vulnerability and strength using a stark palette of cosmic indigo contrasting against void black, symbolizing the deep emotional currents. The arrangement features a centralized lighter color (star white) surrounded by a dynamic interplay of darker hues (deep teal and cold gold), representing a protective layer against emergent pressures. The use of broken pixels adds intentional imperfection, echoing the nuances of emotional exposure. This piece reflects the theme of an exposed center shielded by an enduring external force, creating a visual story of resilience and fragility.
