Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the struggle between control (represented by darker shades) and surrender (illuminated by brighter accents). The palette predominantly features deep reds and maroons representing control, with sporadic bursts of pink for surrender. The central collision occurs in an overfilled center, where bright pixels challenge the darker borders, encapsulating the theme of overflow vs containment. Patterns of stacked control juxtaposed with the rain-like surrender create an emotional narrative of stuttering steps between order and chaos.
