Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional tension between rage and calm. The palette combines stark reds with muted blues and whites to represent hot emotion versus cool containment. The main contrast occurs in the upper left corner where jagged red pixels (scar pattern) collide with more stable blue horizontal layers (stack pattern). This layout suggests a sense of pressure emanating from one side while the calmness seeks to spread through the space, creating an unresolved tension. Broken pixels create an imperfect texture, mirroring the eroded symmetry indicated by the seed.
