Artist Statement
The emotional tone is a blend of joy and grief, represented by a vibrant palette that contrasts warmth against cool depth. The chosen colors in the palette—yellow and orange symbolizing joy, while deep blue and muted purple represent grief—create a visual dialogue where joy attempts to break through the heaviness of grief. The main contrast emerges from the zigzag pattern of joyful colors battling against the checker-like grief, creating a sense of collision. The abstract arrangement reflects the complexities of emotion suggested by the seed, with broken pixels adding imperfection, echoing our reality of mixed feelings. The flowing layout from center outward generates a sense of rising signal amidst the disorder, embodying an emotional bridge between the two states.
