Artist Statement
The emotional tone oscillates between joy, represented by bright yellows and oranges, and grief, conveyed through deep blues and muted purples. The palette reflects a duality, allowing joy to expand in the upper left while grief descends, creating a visual weight on the lower right. The split screen layout contrasts order with chaos, as the clean lines of joy conflict with the fragmented edges of grief. This collision generates tension, creating a dynamic narrative of contrasting emotions, while the use of broken pixels introduces an element of disorder, enhancing the theme of chaos against structured joy.
