Artist Statement

This artwork encapsulates the emotional tension between 'spark' and 'ash', represented through the interplay of vibrant reds and deep, muted grays, evoking the feeling of resilience against fragility. The use of a focus on bright accents against darker shadows suggests a collision of vibrancy against a backdrop of decay, with the dynamic 'dots' of the spark contrasted by the structured 'barcode' representing ash. The central focus of lighter red highlights against the dark edges evokes the idea of a 'halo_void', suggesting both explosion and quiet aftermath. The arrangement also respects the necessary negative space, inviting the viewer to visualize absence amidst presence, reminiscent of memory and erasure.
