Artist Statement

The emotional tone juxtaposes vivid ignition with muted aftermath, embodying a tumultuous yet delicate struggle. The palette reflects warmth and coldness: warm coral and soft amber represent spark, while cold slate and blue-black embody ash. The primary contrast occurs where the spark-inspired channels in the left half clash with the ash-patterned tide on the right, evoking a powerful collision of memories and emotions amidst jagged edges. The arrangement creates a balance of light and dark, suggesting resilience against fragility, while introducing intentional broken pixels for tension and imperfection, echoing the theme of memory vs erasure.
