Artist Statement

The artwork explores the emotional duality of softness and severity through a deliberate fluctuation of warm and cool colors. The palette blends calm powder pink and warm white with sharp crimson and carbon black to illustrate the contrast between gentle and aggressive impulses. The layout, resembling falling pixels, creates a top-heavy composition, emphasizing bottom weight while echoing pulse marks. The collision occurs prominently at the center, where the soft echoes and harsh pulses intersect, symbolizing the tug-of-war between guilt and forgiveness. This abstraction avoids any literal interpretations, inviting viewers to perceive personal resonance within the chaotic yet structured arrangement of colors.
