Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional conflict between defiance and submission through stark contrasts in color and form. The palette of warm coral and soft amber signifies the assertive tone of defiance, while cold slate and blue-black represent the subdued nature of submission, creating a vivid interplay. The layout divides the canvas into two emotional realms with broken pixels, symbolizing interruptions in control. The predominant warmer hues dominate the layout, invoking a sense of assertiveness against quiet, muted fields, thus narrating an ongoing battle between strength and retreat.
