Artist Statement

The emotional tone revolves around tension between panic and control, mirrored through the choice of a stark and bold palette of black, dark violet, soft gold, and pale green. The main contrast arises from the collision of chaotic elements in darker hues against structured, lighter colors, evoking a sense of conflict and resolution. This emulates a zigzagging motion that reflects the push and pull between chaos and order, showing a fractured symmetry where certain pixels are intentionally disrupted to represent imperfections in control. The abstract form communicates both an inner struggle and the presence of hope amidst disorder, with negative space strategically preserving the focus on the central tension.
