Artist Statement
This composition explores the emotional contrasts of joy and grief through a structured layout that embodies both order and chaos. The palette blends bright yellows and oranges representing joy against deep blues and muted purples for grief, highlighting their collision. The separation is reflected in a mirrored layout, yet broken pixels invoke a sense of fragility, disrupting the symmetry. The textured patterns suggest the layers of human emotion, where joy expands against the weight of grief, creating a heartbeat-like rhythm that flows from the bottom to the top.
