Artist Statement
This composition explores the emotional contrast of joy and grief through color placement and pattern. The palette features bright yellows and oranges representing joy, clashing against deep blues and muted purples symbolizing grief. The split-screen aesthetic creates a tension between structured joy and chaotic grief, with hard edges emphasizing the collision of these feelings. The pattern of rising pixels signifies an ascent from grief at the bottom, capturing a sense of hope pushing through the weight of sadness, while the broken pixels serve as reminders of imperfection and interruption in this emotional journey.
