Artist Statement
The emotional tone embodies a struggle between heaviness and calm, captured through contrasting colors and patterns. The palette transitions from muted off-white and faint peach to deeper shades of compressed red and dark navy, visually articulating the clash of quiet space against densely packed areas. The rows depict an island of pressure—clustered hues in the top left—gradually giving way to broader fields of softer tones, emphasizing the release of tension. This arrangement uses broken pixels to evoke shattering against a tide of confusion, suggesting an abstract narrative of motion and emotional collision, particularly at the center.
