Artist Statement

The emotional tone revolves around the conflict between pressure and release, symbolized through contrasting colors. The palette leverages deep blacks to represent weight and pressure, while lighter blues and whites suggest moments of relief and calm. The layout mirrors slightly, with the left side heavier in dark tones, while the right introduces bright accents, creating a sense of collision. The broken pixel approach destabilizes the ordered feel, embodying imperfection and the tumultuous nature of emotions.
