Artist Statement

The emotional tone here translates to a struggle between defiance and submission, reflected in the arrangement and contrasting colors. The palette balances dark navy and black against the lighter dim cyan and white, embodying tension in the top half (defiance) and a more muted form in the bottom half (submission). The use of broken pixels adds a sense of imperfection and chaos, repeating the theme of conflict. Main contrasts are achieved through dense clusters of dark colors in the top rows breaking against lighter spaces below, symbolizing an unresolved internal battle.
