Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional dichotomy of defiance versus submission through the contrasting color palette of deep navy and stark white, symbolizing strength against fragility. The black serves as a frame, imparting weight and structure while the dim cyan adds a hint of lightness and hope. The spatial arrangement creates a sense of imbalance, with heavier colors concentrated toward the corners, suggesting bottom weight and pressure. The central pixels play with patterns — a crosshatch of defiance against a framed submission — to evoke conflict and resolution, inviting the viewer to navigate through tension and quietness in this abstract expression.
