Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between the lightness of relief and the heaviness of dread. The selected palette of pink, red, gray, and dark maroon embodies contrasting feelings—pink symbolizes warmth and calm while dark maroon introduces a contrasting weight. The arrangement emphasizes a primarily gray field, suggesting emptiness, with concentrated bursts of color that represent emotional collisions, evoking the tension between comfort and unrest as one experiences both relief and dread simultaneously. The use of broken pixels reflects the imperfections found in emotions, reinforcing a sense of unpredictability in the combined feelings.
