Artist Statement

This piece embodies the struggle between defiance and submission through contrasting colors. The deep blacks represent defiance, while the soft gold and pale green evoke submission, creating a tension that vibrates throughout the square. The layout organizes these emotions diagonally, emphasizing conflict and interaction. The broken pixels are intentional disruptions in the field of stark colors, suggesting imperfection and the complexity of emotional expression.
