Artist Statement

The emotional tone embodies the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability, mirrored in the contrasting patterns of crosshatch and islands. A stark palette of carbon black as the dominant color signals stability, while soft touches of powder pink and warm white introduce vulnerability. The central collision of colors towards the center represents a flood of vulnerability being both supported and overwhelmed by strength, with broken pixels creating intentional disruptions that punctuate the surface and add texture. This arrangement narrates a story of desire amid emptiness, enhancing the emotional depth.
