Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional tensions between pressure and quietude. The dominant dark navy serves as a dense foundation, creating a tight center that visually compresses and evokes feelings of pressure. Meanwhile, softer colors like the faint peach bleed into the quiet spaces, suggesting release and calm. The rows exhibit broken pixels strategically placed to illustrate disruptions. A diagonal flow is implied through the arrangement of colors from darker to lighter edges, highlighting the collision between pressure and soft release. The interplay of hard edges and gentle transitions creates an abstract narrative of struggle and eventual serenity.
