Artist Statement

The emotional tone of awe versus terror informs a composition of contrast, where dark hues embody terror, contrasting with soft gold and pale green representing awe. The layout features descending pixels suggesting a flow from the center outward, yet the broken pixel edges introduce a sense of chaos within a generally ordered flow. The main collision occurs where the dark pixels encroach upon lighter areas, creating tension and instability within the calm. The palette reflects a spectrum from dark violet (chaos) to soft gold (hope), establishing a visual narrative about the fragile balance between order and disruption.
