Artist Statement

The emotional tone of this artwork captures the tension between relief and dread, creating a vibrant yet haunting narrative. The chosen palette combines pale mint and soft sky as cool tones representing relief, contrasted with storm gray and near-black embodying dread. The placement adheres to the corner invasion layout, where darker hues begin in the top left, suggesting weight and pressure, gradually loosening into lighter tones that evoke openness and exhale moments. The broken pixels introduce intentional disruptions hinting at chaos amidst order, while the halo pattern represents the soft, comforting qualities of relief. The collision of these colors transforms the artwork into a dynamic representation of internal struggle, with a clear emotional flow guiding the viewer's experience.
