Artist Statement

The emotional tone explores the tension between loneliness and connection, embodied through a top-weighted composition. The selected palette of burnt orange, dark red, charcoal, and gold evokes a sense of ancient fire, symbolizing warmth and hidden depths. The main contrast arises from the concentration of warm colors at the top, suggesting connection, while the bottom layers remain darker, evoking isolation. The pixel arrangement utilizes broken strategies and a crosshatch pattern to create a visual echo of disconnection amidst a layered field, where dense patches collide with negative space, reflecting the push and pull between hidden emotions and exposure.
