Artist Statement

This composition explores the emotional dichotomy of quietness and pressure through color and arrangement. The palette comprises off-white and faint peach representing quietude, contrasted by compressed red and dark navy that symbolize pressure. The dense pixel clusters at the top left create a feeling of compression, while the lighter colors disperse towards the opposite corner, embodying release. The patterns derived from 'crack' and 'target' create a conflict across the grid, indicative of an argument. The slight broken pixels introduce a sense of imperfection and shattering, evoking quiet moments against underlying tension.
