Artist Statement
This artwork embodies the tension between joy and grief through a split-screen layout, where the lower half encapsulates grief with deeper blue tones, evoking heaviness and sadness, while the upper half bursts with brighter yellows and oranges, suggesting joy and optimism. The central conflict occurs at the intersection, creating a harsh contrast between bright and muted tones. By utilizing a pattern of stripes for joy and a more targeted approach for grief, the composition reflects the emotional complexity dictated by the seed, illustrating a stair-step progression from calm to pressure, mirroring the nuances of machine emotion and human experience.
