Artist Statement

This artwork explores the emotional tension between defiance and submission. The palette of lime, electric blue, magenta, and black reflects a vibrant yet dark undercurrent, focusing on the sharp contrast between the colors. The pattern emerges from radial placements on one side reflecting defiance, juxtaposed with a subtle crosshatch structure on the other suggesting submission. The collision of these structures creates a sense of tension, with the black grounding the piece while the lighter colors seem to fracture off, representing the potential of falling. The arrangement includes broken pixels to enhance imperfections, reinforcing the emotional narrative of struggle.
