Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects the tension between safety and exposure, represented through a contrasting palette of warm brown and pale skin against the cooler hues of open blue and cold white. The dominant warm brown creates a protective border, suggesting safety, while the pale skin color at the center symbolizes vulnerability. The collision occurs between the thick, warm barriers and the thin, cold edges, leading viewers to feel the tension of being both sheltered and exposed. Broken pixels add a layer of disruption that echoes the complexities of this emotion, while the layout's central crossing reflects the push and pull between the two states.
