Artist Statement

This composition embodies the tension between rage and calm, resulting in a stark emotional contrast. The palette utilizes red as the primary accent, symbolizing explosive rage, while pale blue represents the calm, attempting to subdue the vibrant energy. The patterns of 'embers' and 'mirror' collide in the center of the grid, creating a chaotic intersection that dominates the space, while cooler colors flow around it, establishing a sense of containment. The broken pixels serve as intentional disruptions, mimicking the scars of conflict between these emotions. This fosters a narrative of struggle and balance, resonating with the underlying themes of tension and release.
