Artist Statement
This piece captures the emotional tension between joy and grief through a color palette that contrasts bright yellows and oranges with deep blues and muted purples. The zigzag flow symbolizes the twists and turns of life’s experiences, while the structured pattern of joy clashes with the disorder of grief. The arrangement suggests a descent from brightness into shadow, illustrating the interplay of joy against grief. The use of broken pixels introduces imperfection, hinting at the chaos behind structured emotions, while negative space provides breathing room, emphasizing the heavy weight of grief in a seemingly joyful format.
