Artist Statement

This piece embodies the emotional contrast between awe and terror, using a palette of deep, muted blacks contrasted with sharp, bright whites. The tension stems from the interaction of chaotic textures against softer, flowing patterns, creating a sense of instability amidst defined shapes. The arrangement mimics a vertical wave, suggesting rising emotion that collides with a heavy, darker mass, exemplifying the unstable interplay of awe and terror in visual form. The presence of broken pixels introduces an element of imperfection, enhancing the sense of memory and the fragmented nature of these emotions.
