Artist Statement
This piece conveys a tension between nostalgia and progress, depicting a reflective dichotomy through the contrast of softer hues against stronger shades. The palette includes soft pinks and deep maroons to embody nostalgia's warmth, while grays represent the sterility of progress. The layout reflects a corner invasion, where nostalgic warmth spreads outward, interrupted by clinical progress in a checker pattern at the center. The intentional placement of broken pixels introduces imperfection, enhancing the theme of 'rise vs. fall' with visual disruptions. The gentle softness of one side meets the starkness of the other, creating an emotional balance of calm and tension.
