Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional dichotomy of control and surrender, using a palette of pale mint, soft sky, storm gray, near black, and faded gold. The selected colors communicate a spectrum of relief and dread. The dominant dark hues signify control and pressure, while the lighter shades introduce moments of surrender. The main contrast arises in the center, where layered patterns of flame and ladder interplay, suggesting a collision of emotions and the tension of confinement. The use of broken pixels creates intentional disruptions that echo the struggle between containment and overflow.
