Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures the struggle between density and tranquility, using a palette that juxtaposes muted fields with sharp accents. Dark navy represents the pressure and crowdedness, while off-white and faint peach provide a soft contrast that echoes the quiet. The collision occurs in the center with a stack of sharp reds that disrupts the quieter edges, symbolizing the clash of symmetry and break. The irregular distribution of broken pixels amplifies the emotional tension, allowing for a conversation between the pressure and release.
