Artist Statement
This artwork conveys the emotional tension between control and surrender, using a palette that reflects melancholy wonder. The cool tones of lavender gray and soft cyan suggest containment, while warm, muted plum represents overflow and chaos. The central band of brighter colors interrupts the cooler edges, acting as a pulse that dominates the piece, embodying the themes of pressure vs. release. Broken pixels introduce intentional disruptions that mirror the emotional struggle, creating an organic feel in the structured grid layout.
