Artist Statement

This artwork encapsulates the emotional dichotomy of joy versus grief through a contrasting palette of warm orange and yellow against deep blue and muted purple. The layout emphasizes a corner invasion, where the bright colors gradually clash with darker tones, illustrating the struggle between uplifting joy and the weight of grief. The flow spirals outward, symbolizing the release of emotions, while the zigzag pattern creates a rhythmic tension. By incorporating broken pixels, the piece reflects imperfection and the multifaceted nature of human emotion. The glowing edges enhance the sensation of both protection and vulnerability, creating a visual experience that speaks to the complexity of feeling.
