Artist Statement

The composition embodies the emotional contrast of restlessness against peace, creating a visual dialogue of tension. The warm palette of hot coral and blood orange juxtaposed with the cool tones of charcoal and hollow blue conveys a push and pull between vibrant energy and calmness. The central density of colors mimics the chaotic motion of memory while the lighter edges signify a peaceful escape. Broken pixels serve as intentional disruptions, enhancing the sense of unresolved motion and echoing the theme of struggle between conflicting emotions.
