Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the struggle between defiance and submission, using a palette of stark contrasts between red and pale blue to highlight the intensity of these emotions. The contrast is most evident in the bottom-weighted and falling pixel layout, creating a dense visual that represents stress while allowing for moments of calm at the top. The pattern of dots symbolizes defiance clashing with stair-like submissions, capturing the ongoing battle and interplay of light vs weight, forming a rhythmic yet chaotic flow that echoes the narrative of the seed.
