Artist Statement

This piece explores the emotional tug-of-war between rage and calm. The palette juxtaposes hot reds and cool blues, with red dominating 65% of the canvas to depict intensity. The patterns of the halo for rage burst outwards, colliding into the softer maze of calm, suggesting a dynamic struggle between explosion and tranquility. The main contrast occurs in the center where red sparks interrupt the blue maze, creatively using the shape seed concept in a non-literal form to represent emotional thresholds. Broken pixels add intentional disturbances, embodying rejection and acceptance.
