Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional struggle between control and surrender, represented through contrasting elements. The palette features deep blues and mourning blacks to evoke a sense of depth and introspection alongside soft pale yellows to suggest gentle release. The energetic pulse marks in the center clash with the surrendering thread pattern, creating a dynamic tension that echoes the conflicting emotions dictated by the seed. The broken pixels disrupt the control, suggesting imperfections amidst the desire for order, culminating in a rich tapestry of contrasting feelings without literal representation.
