Artist Statement

This abstract piece conveys the emotional tension between quietude and pressure through the juxtaposition of muted and bold colors. The palette of 'quiet_pressure' combines soft, encompassing hues like faint peach and dust gray with striking elements like compressed red and dark navy. The main collision occurs between the central dark navy and the outer accents, embodying a dynamic struggle reminiscent of pressure building and a quiet release. The patterns of channels and split screens represent the flow of emotions – pressure at the edges loosening into calm at the center. The broken pixels remind us of imperfection amidst control.
