Artist Statement

The emotional tone of this artwork is rooted in the juxtaposition of vitality and despair, represented by 'spark' and 'ash' respectively. The palette of clean white, ice blue, ink black, violet gray, and warning orange captures the contrasting emotions of hope versus desolation. The chosen colors create a dense area of dark tones contrasting against a vibrant yet fire-like orange, signifying turmoil within. The layout follows a diagonal argument, where the spark breaks through the ash, emphasizing a clash between vigor and decay. The broken pixel elements introduce imperfection, hinting at a flawed nature of this relationship. Overall, the composition invites the viewer to meditate on resilience amid fragility, urging contemplation on the balance of opposing forces.
