Artist Statement

The emotional tone explores the tension between relief and dread through the contrast of dark and light colors. The palette, comprising black, dark violet, soft gold, and pale green, reflects a spectrum of emotions—black representing dread and soft gold embodying relief. The layout centers on a small cluster of bright tones amid a darker expanse, evoking a feeling of weight pressing against moments of hope. The arrangement consists of broken pixels, creating an imperfection that resonates with the theme of conflict. The top-weighted style anchors the composition, suggesting gravity and a push from above, while the crosshatch pattern on the sides evokes a sense of entrapment, leaving strategic negative space for quiet contemplation.
