Artist Statement
This composition embodies the emotional dichotomy between envy and gratitude, expressed through contrasting colors and spatial arrangements. The palette includes black and dark violet to signify heaviness, contrasted with soft gold and pale green symbolizing lightness and hope. The center, filled with lighter colors, suggests rising energy and aspiration, while the surrounding dark hues create a feeling of weight and introspection. The arrangement emphasizes a push-and-pull dynamic—light against darkness—that resonates with the themes of tension and resolution. The use of broken pixels introduces imperfections that reflect the complexities of emotion.
