Artist Statement

The emotional tone of this piece embodies a struggle between relief and dread, with a palette that juxtaposes warm yellows and oranges against cool muted purples and deep blues, reflecting both warmth and a sense of foreboding. The main contrast occurs in the top rows where lighter colors fight against darker tones, suggesting a tension that gradually dissipates towards the bottom, imparting a feeling of weight shifting. The rigorous arrangement follows a symmetrical pattern intertwined with broken pixels, echoing the themes of balance and interruption suggested by the seed.
