Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects a dichotomy between nostalgia (warm, soft) and progress (cool, sharp). The palette 'broken_memory' utilizes sepia and faded blues to evoke a sense of warmth and history, contrasted with the clarity of cooler tones. The layout splits horizontally, creating a visible fracture, where the top half maintains a repetitive flame pattern (nostalgia) juxtaposed against the aggressive split-screen below (progress). Collisions occur where warm hues momentarily permeate the overlaying cool colors, suggesting an unresolved tension. This arrangement embodies a drift from the calm associated with memory into the pressure of forward momentum, where broken pixels symbolize the imperfections in this transition.
