Artist Statement

This composition explores emotional dichotomy through varied densities and contrasting hues. The palette, derived from 'broken_memory', utilizes sepia and faded blue to bridge feelings of control and surrender—suggesting a hold that softly gives way. The layout features stacked bands to indicate a rise from contained pressure to gentle release, with the central row emphasizing collision through a blurring of boundaries between colors. Broken pixels interrupt to create a sense of imperfection, representing the struggle between restriction and fluidity.
