Artist Statement

This piece explores the emotional tension between quietude and pressure, utilizing a palette that balances muted tones with intense accents. The dark navy (#1A1A4B) symbolizes depth and pressure, while faint peach (#FFEDD5) embodies quiet softness. The dominant cluster of dark colors in the left half of the grid represents tension, while the lighter colors emerge from the center, suggesting a release into clarity. The deliberate use of broken pixels represents shatters in the pattern, introducing echoes of confusion amidst clarity, reinforcing the theme of collision and flow.
