Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between the relief represented by soft, cool tones and the dread conveyed through darker hues, creating a compelling juxtaposition. The selected palette emphasizes this contrast with bright accents of faded gold and pale mint clashing against the heavier storm gray and near black. The collision occurs primarily in the center, reflecting the spiral flow from chaos to order, while the outer layers mimic a frame of containment contrasting the freer style of the inner grid. The broken pixels introduce intentional disruptions, embodying the struggle inherent in the two emotions.
