Artist Statement
This piece encapsulates the emotional contrast between envy and gratitude through a play of light and dark colors, illustrating the struggle between weight and levity. The palette of sepia, tan, and faded blue evokes nostalgia while embedding subtle warmth, representing feelings of gratitude amid a murky, challenging environment. The broken pixel edges create an imperfect, jagged rhythm that visually interprets 'mirror broken', encouraging viewers to explore the complexity of these emotions. The deliberate asymmetry of the zigzag patterns introduces tension, suggesting a conflict and echoing the central themes of negativity and positive reflection.
