Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional tone of vulnerability juxtaposed against strength. The palette is anchored in deep, grounding blacks contrasted with gentle pale blues and whites, representing moments of clarity in chaos. The left side reflects vulnerability through a negative cross pattern lending a sense of openness, while the right presents strength as a static grid. The central collision occurs where the two halves meet, each encroaching upon the other, creating tension within the symmetry. Broken pixels serve to highlight imperfections, directly translating the concept of fragility into the composition, promoting an abstract interplay of fear and resilience.
