Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures the struggle between control and surrender, with a central collision of pressure represented in a cluster of saturated colors. The palette, rooted in warm oranges and deep blues, emphasizes contrast between the dominating state of control (orange) and the yielding quality of surrender (blue). By employing stacked bands and integrating broken pixels that disrupt the visual flow, the artwork illustrates the tension of a locked border, while allowing the center to overflow in muted signals of release. The stutter step in the layout reflects the hesitance in navigating these emotional layers, showcasing an unease between structured patterns and chaotic noise.
