Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the contradiction between tenderness and rage through a juxtaposition of saturated and muted colors. The palette of deep reds and blacks represents the explosive emotions of rage, while pale blue and white offer a tender, calming balance. The collision occurs predominantly at the center, where broken pixels disrupt the flow, reflecting the turmoil within. The 'island and sea' layout emphasizes density against a quieter field, enhancing the theme of internal conflict. The interplay between the jagged edges of the rage and the soft overlaps of tenderness creates a layered, emotional landscape.
