Artist Statement
The artwork explores the emotional tension between control and surrender by contrasting a dense central region with lighter, more spacious peripheral areas. The color palette of pale aqua and mist gray creates an atmosphere of serenity, while alarm red introduces a striking element of urgency. The collision occurs at the center, symbolizing a fight against overwhelming pressure. The broken pixel elements interrupt the flow, reinforcing the narrative of uncertainty, while maintaining enough negative space to evoke a sense of calm amidst chaos.
