Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects a dynamic interplay between control and surrender, emphasizing the struggle and eventual release of pressure. The palette combines deep blacks with vibrant magentas and electric blues, suggesting a confrontation of confinement against the backdrop of open expression. The main collision occurs centrally, a cluster of bright colors fighting against the more subdued dark spaces, representing the tension of an overfilled center erupting outward. The patterns selected illustrate the measured approach of control versus the chaotic yet yielding nature of surrender, with intentional broken pixels creating imperfections that symbolize the scars of the battle between these forces.
