Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects the duality of relief and dread, expressing tension through carefully selected colors. The palette features dark violet and soft gold to symbolize the weight of dread against the brightness of relief. A back-and-forth rhythm emerges from the collision of dark and light, particularly concentrated in the upper left corner where dread looms heavy, while soft gold light cascades downward, hinting at a 'rain' pattern. The use of broken pixels generates texture and imperfection, indicating disruption in the symmetry of the layout. Overall, this composition captures the nuances of tension transitioning and releasing, as the arrangement leads the eye from darkness toward an area of relief.
