Artist Statement

This composition embodies a struggle between tranquility and turbulence, highlighting the contrast between soft, calm colors and explosive, vibrant tones. The palette features deep reds and serene pale blues to represent rage and calm, respectively. The interplay of these hues creates an underlying tension, with diagonal stripes (rage) colliding against mirror-like symmetry (calm) to suggest a crack in the facade. The arrangement forces attention toward the center, representing the emotional core and inviting the viewer to reflect on the duality of feeling, as uneven patterns suggest a state of inner conflict among the pixels.
