Artist Statement

The artwork explores the emotional dichotomy of vulnerability and strength through a palette depicting guilt and forgiveness. The central area, dominated by soft gold, represents vulnerability, contrasting with deep wine and ash gray at the edges symbolizing strength. The flowing layout mimics falling pixels, creating a dynamic feel of pressure against a pale background, suggesting resolution yet unresolved tension. Broken pixels punctuate the composition, adding imperfections that embody the theme of vulnerability.
