Artist Statement
This artwork reflects the emotional tension between joy and grief through contrasting colors and structural patterns. The palette integrates bright yellows and soft oranges representing joy, juxtaposed with muted purples and deep blues symbolizing grief. The top half features a structured frame indicating joy's order, while the bottom employs stair-step patterns to convey systems collapsing under grief's weight. The hard edges emphasize the dissonance between these two emotional states. Broken pixels are included to disrupt perfection, suggesting the imperfections present in any emotional experience. An overall flow moving from bottom to top mirrors the rising tension from grief toward the lightness of joy.
