Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional tension between control and surrender. The selected palette of ripe green and cream encapsulates themes of life and calmness, while honey gold and acid green introduce moments of vibrancy and chaos. The main contrast arises in the center, where bright colors fight against darker edges, suggesting an overflow against the containment. The wave shape seed translates into flowing pixel patterns that mirror one another with intentional disruptions for depth and emotion. The thick outlines establish a border that reflects control, contrasting with the more scattered inner pixels that symbolize surrender.
