Artist Statement

This artwork explores the emotional tension between safety and exposure, using a palette that hints at protective and vulnerable qualities. The warm brown represents safety, while the cool open blue signifies exposure. The main contrast occurs in the center with a dense arrangement of dots (exposure) colliding against a flooded field of gentle safety colors at the edges. The placement of broken pixels introduces intentional imperfection, disrupting the flow and echoing life's unpredictability. This combination creates a dynamic visual narrative of tension and release, ultimately aiming for a balance yet leaving room for exploration.
