Artist Statement
The emotional tone revolves around the struggle between desire and emptiness, expressed through a clash of saturated colors against muted tones, symbolizing the push and pull of longing constrained by limiting edges. The palette consists of warm and vibrant hues like hot coral and blood orange representing desire, contrasted with hollow blue and charcoal evoking a sense of emptiness. The main contrast occurs at the center, where these colors collide, creating a dynamic visual tension. The broken pixels introduce intentional disruptions that embody the imperfections of desire, while the pattern of stairs for desire and veil for emptiness create a layered feel, enhancing the abstract nature of the piece.
