Artist Statement

The composition explores the emotional duel of defiance and submission, captured through a palette reflecting melancholy and wonder. The chosen colors evoke a sense of inner conflict; brighter shades representing defiance against the softer tones of submission. The collision occurs at the center where the radial submission pattern collides with the ripple of defiance, while the bottom-weighted edge creates a grounding effect. Broken pixels introduce intentional disruptions, hinting at imperfection in this emotional turmoil.
