Artist Statement

The emotional tone embodies a struggle between defiance and submission, creating a dynamic tension exemplified through a palette of warm and cool colors. The selected colors reflect intimate warmth and distant cold, and their arrangement in diagonal segments emphasizes the contrast between the opposing emotions, with defiance in a brighter, angular pattern clashing with the softer folds of submission. The collision happens at the center, where the two emotional forces meet, disrupted by broken pixels that symbolize imperfection and chaos. This creates a visual story of unresolved struggle and balance within the abstract.
