Artist Statement

This piece explores the emotional conflict between defiance and submission, represented by a dense corner filled with reds and blacks, juxtaposed against softer, quieter blues and whites. The palette reflects rage against calm—a battle of visual noise versus serenity. The dominant black occupies the top left, where defiance pulses energetically, while the cooler tones spiral inward, suggesting a submission to those overwhelming forces. This layout creates a powerful moment of collision, underscoring the struggle between pressure and respite. Broken pixels disrupt the flow, hinting at cracks in the emotions portrayed.
