Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects a dynamic tension between rage and calm. The palette, combining intense black and red with softer pale blue and white, emphasizes this duality. The strong contrast between densely packed red pixels and the calmer blue and white islands symbolizes the collision of emotions. The main clash occurs in the center, where hot colors break through cooler tones, suggesting a surge of unrest contained within quieter spaces. The zigzag pattern represents disruptions, while softer edges provide a veil of calm over the eruption underneath, embodying the emotional narrative suggested by the seed.
