Artist Statement

This piece captures the emotional tone of vulnerability interwoven with strength, represented by the contrast of soft and harsh colors. The palette features muted off-white and dust gray to evoke a sense of fragility, contrasted sharply by compressed red and dark navy, symbolizing strength and pressure. The arrangement follows a quiet channel layout, where the dense dark colors create intensity, while the lighter hues provide breathability, touching upon the theme of resilience amidst vulnerability. The central collision occurs between the deep navy and pale peach, representing a struggle between stability and exposure, while intentional disruptions via broken pixels reflect the scars of conflict and continuity.
