Artist Statement

The emotional tone explores the contrast between vulnerability and strength, creating a visual narrative of resilience through the tension of exposed light against a dense dark background. The palette, rich in cosmic indigo and void black highlights a feeling of awe and terror, with cold gold and deep teal used to accentuate the push and pull between the concepts. The palette splits diagonally, with vulnerability represented by a radial pattern in lighter tones, and strength occupying the base with constellation motifs in darker shades, interrupted by scattered, broken pixels, symbolizing imperfections in both states.
