Artist Statement

This composition reflects the emotional tension between control and surrender. The palette of stain brown, ash gray, warm ivory, soft gold, and deep wine creates a narrative of conflict and resolution, where warm tones denote a sense of surrender and cool tones represent control. The main collision occurs at the center, where the barcode pattern of surrender overlaps with the quiet field of control, signifying a struggle. The use of broken pixels introduces imperfections, reflecting the chaotic nature of this balance. Overall, the layout spirals outward from a point of tension, suggesting dynamic movement and emotional fluctuations.
