Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional tension between emptiness and desire, utilizing a muted palette that embodies fading memories. The darker outer ring represents weightiness and pressing emotions, while the vibrant inner square embodies desire, creating a controlled chaos. The palette emphasizes sepia and faded blue to suggest nostalgia and yearning. The collision occurs where the dark surrounds interact with the lighter core, creating visual pressure and release. The maze-like pattern hints at complexity, with broken pixels introducing imperfection, encapsulating the rawness of emotion.
