Artist Statement
This composition reflects the dynamic interplay between control (represented by rigid contrasts) and surrender (manifested as gentle pulses). The palette blends serene hues of pale aqua and mist gray with urgent notes of alarm red and ink blue, creating a balance of calm and urgency. Main conflicts occur at the center and edges, where marked tension from the control patterns (stair-like structures) meets softer, flowing pulses, suggesting a constant push and pull. The broken pixels introduce disruptions, representing moments of unexpected chaos, amplifying the narrative of overflowing containment.
