Artist Statement

The emotional tone is rooted in the tension between vulnerability and strength. The palette of clean white, ice blue, ink black, violet gray, and warning orange creates a stark contrast, embodying the tension between exposed light and the severity of dark edges. The collision occurs predominantly in the center with a chaotic interplay of broken pixels disrupting the order, symbolizing emotional leaks and unshielded spaces. The layout reflects a near-complete frame, with breaks showcasing vulnerabilities. The design captures a story of resilience and fragility, allowing quiet fields of color to balance against accentuating disturbances, encapsulating the essence of the seed.
