Artist Statement

The artwork plays on the emotional duality of control versus surrender, utilizing a palette of ripe green, acid green, honey gold, deep olive, and cream to express this contrast. The dense center of green symbolizes control, while the lighter colors around it embody the concept of surrender, suggesting an overflow of emotion. The main collision of feeling occurs in the center, where the intense greens clash with the softer gold and cream. The rising signal layout emphasizes upward movement, resonating with both hope and tension, while fragmented pixels add a sense of imperfection reflecting internal struggle.
