Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the clash between love and betrayal, using a palette of warm pinks and reds juxtaposed with deep grays and dark maroon to embody a complex relationship. The left side mirrors the right, yet imperfection disrupts the symmetry, creating tension—suggestive of the struggle in love. The interspersed colors create a rhythm, as sharp contrasts intersect with softer tones, embodying the dynamic of longing and loss. Negative space is utilized to evoke an empty room, reinforcing the emotional emptiness that can accompany betrayal. By incorporating broken pixels and arranging colors in collision, the piece invites viewers to engage with the underlying conflict.
