Artist Statement
The emotional tone of this piece reflects the push-and-pull between nostalgia and progress. The palette, inspired by 'ancient_fire', uses burnt orange and dark red to evoke warmth and memory, contrasted with charcoal to represent the weight of progress. The rows are structured with a split horizontal layout that juxtaposes the heaviness of nostalgic tones above with brighter tones below, arranging colors in a way that suggests an unsettling calm giving way to stirring energy. Broken pixels add imperfection, reinforcing the idea of unresolved tension.
