Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures the struggle between defiance and submission, with a palette that balances cold black and white representing order and chaos. The main contrast occurs where the grid pattern of submission intersects with the more chaotic ash_field, creating a dynamic push-pull effect. The seed guided the layout, suggesting a spiral flow centered around the theme of struggle as the colors block and recede into each other, producing an uneven border that hints at unresolved tension.
