Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures the duality of fear and hope, represented through contrasting dark and light hues. The palette of black, dark violet, soft gold, and pale green creates a striking juxtaposition, where dark corners evoke fear, while the glowing edges symbolize hope. The center features a burst of soft gold, surrounded by darker hues that suggest pressure and strife, creating a tension that mirrors the dichotomy of emotions. The crosshatching pattern enables visual conflict, highlighting the vertical split, while the broken pixels introduce an element of imperfection, mirroring the unpredictability of human emotion.
