Artist Statement

The piece encapsulates the tension between quietude and pressure through a palette that juxtaposes soft hues with deep tones. The dark navy and compressed red express the density of pressure, while the faint peach and off-white signify moments of calm. The arrangement supports a mirrored layout that feels very controlled, yet broken pixels create interruptions, suggesting shattering against the tide of overwhelming emotion. The main collisions occur diagonally, representing the argument of contrasting feelings clashing within a structured framework.
