Artist Statement
The emotional tone of 'nostalgia vs progress' reflects a struggle between warmth and cold, with sepia and faded blue capturing the essence of reminiscence and, simultaneously, the clarity of forward motion. The chosen colors highlight a stark contrast between memory's softness (the sepia and tan) and the hard edges of progress (dust gray and faded blue). This 8x8 grid employs a horizontal split—creating a gentle drip effect on top, suggesting nostalgia flowing down into the stark, structured patterns of progress below. The broken pixels generate imperfection, enhancing the emotional resonance of both realms, while maintaining negative space that allows reflection.
