Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional tension between control and surrender. The palette of muted colors (dark navy and dust gray) contrasted with the accent of compressed red symbolizes the struggle between structured restraint and the possibility of fluidity. The broken pixels disrupt the lattice and crosshatch patterns, reflecting the theme of overflowing containment, emphasizing the collision at the center where the two emotions meet. The interplay of dense clusters against areas of negative space invites contemplation on the transition from pressure to release.
