Artist Statement

This composition reflects the emotional tug-of-war between vulnerability and strength. The palette of sepia, tan, dust gray, and faded blue gives a muted warmth, suggesting an underlying steadiness. The central area, dominated by a deep sepia while surrounding pixels oscillate between lighter tones, illustrates a stable core contrasted with outer pressures, embodying both strength and vulnerability. Interruption by broken pixels creates an engaging narrative of resilience amidst chaos, while the spiral pressure layout evokes a sense of dynamic tension as colors collide and flow.
