Artist Statement
The emotional tone embodies the tension between restlessness and peace, using contrasting patterns of 'stairs' for unrest and 'target' for calm. The chosen palette of reds and muted creams creates a fiery backdrop against the subdued, solid grays providing a sense of conflict within the square. The collision occurs centrally, where warm hues pulse like a flame against the cold stability of grays, hinting at a struggle. The pattern reflects movement—of memory, of tension—kept in check by the larger, muted areas of color. Broken pixels disrupt the flow, evoking fragmented thoughts amidst stark contrasts.
