Artist Statement

The artwork embodies the tension between defiance and submission by utilizing a palette of sepia, tan, and muted blues to evoke nostalgia, memory, and introspection. The outer rows represent the chaotic, jagged edges of submission, while the inner core pulsates with a quiet defiance, marked by areas where colors collide. The broken pixels act as interruptions, symbolizing a resistance against an oppressive order, creating a dynamic visual sensation of an evolving threshold that defines the composition's emotional landscape.
