Artist Statement

The emotional tone of this artwork embodies the conflict between softness and severity, with a dominant serene color scheme disrupted by jagged, darker accents. The palette of warm white, powder pink, carbon black, and sharp crimson creates a dialogue between gentleness and harshness. The layout reflects horizontal and vertical movements colliding at the center point showcasing a marked contrast that draws the eye. The broken pixels applied in subtle places break the uniformity, mirroring imperfections in emotional states, allowing for an unsettling yet balanced flow that resonates with the seed’s exploration of guilt and forgiveness.
