Artist Statement

The emotional tone of this piece reflects the tension between softness and severity. The palette incorporates soft pinks and whites juxtaposed with deep blacks and steel grays, creating a visual dialogue of lightness battling darkness. The collision occurs predominantly in the center, where lighter tones fight to break free from heavier, sharper colors, representing a struggle between guilt and forgiveness. This interplay of circular 'hinge' patterns in light and 'stepwell' textures in dark facilitates a dynamic rhythm, while some broken pixels introduce intentional disruptions, emphasizing the delicate balance between shelter and exposure.
