Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength. The palette, featuring burnt orange, dark red, and charcoal, evokes warmth and intensity against the dark, suggesting strong emotions colliding. The main contrast occurs at the center, where broken dots signify strength pushing through mirrored vulnerability, creating a tension between exposure and protection. The zigzag flow conveys the dynamic struggle within the piece, while broken pixels symbolize scars of experience, enhancing the overall narrative of connection and alienation in the midst of rising signals.
