Artist Statement

The emotional tone blends vulnerability and strength, using a palette of soft pastels and stark blacks to portray the dichotomy. The collision between the soft, muted tones and the sharp crimson represents the tension of exposure against the need for protection. The layout mimics falling pixels, suggesting an inward spiral of emotion, while broken pixels disrupt the flow, symbolizing vulnerability amidst strength. The center captures this duality through a striking contrast of colors, embodying the essence of connection and alienation.
