Artist Statement

The emotional tone juxtaposes joy and grief, using a palette of vibrant yellows and oranges against muted purples and deep blues to create a tension between warmth and heaviness. The layout of rising signals emphasizes a sense of upward hope, while a split screen pattern evokes a conflict of feelings. The main contrast occurs in the upper half, where bright colors emerge against darker, fragmented tiles, echoing the struggle and interplay of exposed joy amidst hidden grief. This arrangement reflects a wave-like motion and the push-and-pull of emotional states, with deliberate placement of 'broken pixels' evoking imperfection.
