Artist Statement

The emotional tone balances defiance and submission through contrasting patterns of light and dark. The palette, featuring vibrant yellows and oranges against muted purples and deep blues, creates tension—a vibrant defiance in the center surrounded by soft submission. The collision occurs at the center, echoing a 'halo void' layout that emphasizes the struggle between bold, impactful colors and areas of negative space. The spiral pattern represents the inward struggle of these emotions, while the presence of broken pixels introduces intentional chaos, mirroring the complexity of human emotion.
