Artist Statement
The emotional tone captures a tension between relief and dread, represented through colors that juxtapose warmth with coolness. The palette of pink, red, gray, and dark maroon signifies a struggle between comfort and unease. The primary collision occurs in the top two rows where the dark tones dominate, evoking feelings of weight and dread, which gradually give way to lighter colors below, suggesting a descent towards relief, mimicking the layered density of thoughts in an empty room. The arrangement follows a top-to-bottom flow, where the colors cascade like raindrops, with soft edges creating a sense of flow rather than abruptness. The broken pixels are scattered to introduce imperfection and emphasize the fragility of the emotional state.
