Artist Statement
The emotional tone of joy clashes with grief, creating a dynamic action within the square. The palette combines bright yellow and orange for joy, with deep blue and muted purple for grief. This creates a tension where the warm hues burst against the somber backdrop, especially manifesting in the central area, embodying the pulse and imbalance marked by asymmetry. The pattern reflects falling pixels to suggest tears or raindrops, integrated with a structure where lighter colors emerge amidst darker ones, embodying the collision between joy and grief while retaining negative space for breathing room. Broken pixels on the left side symbolize disruption and imperfection, enhancing the emotional complexity of the work.
