Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional tension between control and surrender through its contrasting color palette and layout. The use of deep olive and ripe green conveys a sense of contained pressure, while the lighter tones of honey gold and cream suggest a gentle yielding. The central collision of the two contrasting patterns—threshold and pressure band—draws the eye inward, creating a dynamic push and pull. The deliberate placement of broken pixels adds intentional disruption, emphasizing the theme of stutter and hinge, representing moments of tension and release within the emotional spectrum.
