Artist Statement

This abstract piece embodies the emotional dichotomy of softness and severity through the use of a delicate color palette that suggests warmth (powder pink and warm white) juxtaposed against the starkness of carbon black and sharp crimson. The arrangement creates an upward and downward flow that symbolizes rising tensions and grounding weight, while the shatter pattern softly interrupts the strict crosshatch of severity. The central collision occurs along the diagonal axis, highlighting the pulse of contrasting emotions, with several broken pixels adding intentional disruptions to convey the ongoing negotiation between guilt and forgiveness.
