Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between control and surrender, captured through a palette of warm red oxide and cooler muted cream tones. The main contrast occurs in the center, where warm colors overflow and collide with restrained cooler shades, suggesting a struggle between freedom and containment. The radial patterns reflect aspiration while the broken pixels represent disruption within this flow, embodying stutter steps towards release. The upward movement from the bottom to top creates a sense of rising tension and gradual yielding.
