Artist Statement
The emotional tone centers around the struggle of fear battling hope, visualized through a palette that juxtaposes dark shades representing fear with soft golds and pale greens symbolizing hope. The contrast emerges from the upward wave flow, where darker pixels descend against the lighter, hopeful pixels rising. This creates a dynamic tension between 'hidden' fear in the corners and 'exposed' hope centered in the layout. The zigzag pattern evokes a sense of movement and chaos, while the broken pixels introduce a sense of imperfection, echoing the complexities of emotions.
