Artist Statement

This composition reflects the emotional tension between certainty and curiosity. The palette of pale aqua and ink blue introduces calmness, contrasted by alarm red and mist gray, suggesting tension and urgency. The central area is dominated by dark blues (reflecting order) with lighter colors cascading upwards, representing chaos and curiosity. The tension arises from the sharp contrast in colors and broken pixels that interrupt the coherence, portraying a collision of experiences. The wave shape, while abstract, conveys dynamic movement from the bottom to the top, echoing rising signals amid confusion.
