Artist Statement

This composition conveys an emotional journey marked by collision and relief using a dynamic interplay of color. The selected palette of black, white, red, and pale blue reflects the intensity of rage alongside the calmness of gratitude. The radial pattern of envy (red) emanating from the center contrasts with the fractured flows of gratitude (pale blue) radiating outward, creating a palpable tension. The left-weighted edge style introduces imbalance that accentuates the emotional pressure, while the inclusion of broken pixels symbolizes imperfections in emotion. Overall, the piece evokes the complex dance between opposing feelings, reflecting moments of pressure and the eventual release leading to clarity.
