Artist Statement

This piece embodies the emotional tension between quietude and pressure—the top four rows express a soft, muted quality while the bottom four rows convey a dense, glitch-like chaos. The palette features off-white and faint peach to evoke tranquility, contrasted by compressed red and dark navy representing pressure. The sharp transitions suggest a collision at the border where stillness meets agitation, manifesting as a diagonal shift in color density. Overall, the structure creates a visual wave that resonates with the argument for balance amid conflict.
