Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the tension between defiance and submission. The palette of deep navy and black conveys a strong, unyielding atmosphere, while dim cyan introduces a quiet space that contrasts sharply against the solid edges. The outer border of black represents submission with its enclosing nature, while the intense swirling patterns of navy at the center invoke defiance, suggesting an unyielding core. Broken pixels introduce imperfection akin to struggles, reinforcing the theme of resistance. The interplay of these elements creates a dynamic rhythm—an inward spiral reflected by the patterns of submission and defiance colliding in the center, producing a compelling abstract narrative.
