Artist Statement

This composition conveys a strong emotional tone of tension between clarity (signal) and interference (noise). The palette combines vibrant signal green and hot magenta to represent clarity and interruptions, while static gray and dead black suggest the surrounding noise. The layout of contrasting fields creates two distinct areas: the clear center pulse and the overwhelming border of static noise, emphasizing the struggle of clear communication amid chaos. The arrangement of colors speaks to the emotional dichotomy of memory versus erasure, representing how signals can be drowned out. Broken pixels disrupt the sections, echoing the theme of interference and providing intentional imperfections. This interplay creates a vivid yet abstract representation of the theme without resorting to literal imagery.
