Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional tension between nostalgia and progress. The chosen palette of pink, red, gray, and dark maroon evokes a sense of affection intertwined with loss. The arrangement plays with density and negative space, mimicking a gradual rise and fall. The dark lower section contrasts sharply with lighter elements above, suggesting conflict. Broken pixels introduce fragmentation, echoing the uneasy juxtaposition of fullness against hollowness, while the horizontal split emphasizes a duality of experience.
