Artist Statement
This artwork embodies the emotional struggle between fear and hope through contrasting color choices and spatial dynamics. The palette, featuring deep blacks and vibrant golds and greens, evokes a stark division between despair and optimism. The predominantly dark elements portraying fear create a jagged edge while the glowing golds represent hope, offering a small light amid the surrounding pressure. The upward flow suggests a rising signal, creating a push toward positive resolution. The placement of colors throughout the grid allows for a collision of sharp versus soft textures, with intentional broken pixels that symbolize the imperfection of this emotional journey.
