Artist Statement

This artwork juxtaposes the emotions of vulnerability and strength. A palette of warm coral and soft amber signifies warmth and tenderness, while cold slate and blue-black provide a stark contrast, evoking a sense of weight and solidity. The layout employs a frame-and-core structure, with the strong colors forming a jagged border while pale shades hint at an exposed center. The primary collision occurs at the center, where dark tones intersect with lighter bars, symbolizing the tension between protection and exposure. The broken pixels disrupt the otherwise clean structure, lending a sense of imperfection and rawness. Overall, the composition conveys a complex emotional landscape, representing the fragility of strength amidst vulnerability.
