Artist Statement

The emotional tone juxtaposes dread's closing borders with the relief of openness. The chosen palette of muted storm gray and soft sky contrasts with the deeper near-black, reflecting the tension between light and heavy elements. The arrangement plunges dark tones in one corner, resembling an oppressive weight, while the lighter colors softly bleed outward, suggesting an escape or release. The spiral pattern echoes the chaos of dread, while the crosshatch signifies structured relief. Broken pixels add intentional disruptions, embodying the scars of these emotions.
