Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the conflict between vulnerability and strength, suggesting a complexity of feelings. The palette of cosmic indigo, void black, star white, cold gold, and deep teal creates a balance between dark, heavy spaces and punctuations of light. The main contrast occurs at the center where pale and dense colors collide, creating a hollow effect surrounded by vibrant light—symbolizing the tension between exposure and protection. The zigzag flow combined with the maze pattern implies a chaotic yet rhythmic experience, while the broken pixels introduce intentional disruptions that echo the themes of weakness and strength, perfectly mirroring the emotional struggle embedded in the seed.
