Artist Statement

The artwork embodies the emotional tension between vulnerability and strength, using a palette of burnt orange, dark red, charcoal, and gold—colors that evoke warmth and intensity versus muted calm. The patterns reflect vulnerability through soft halos and strength through rigid, stair-like formations. The primary collision is centered, where the warmth of burnt orange interacts with the dark red, representing exposure meeting shelter, creating a compelling contrast that captures the dynamic interplay of emotions. The use of broken pixels introduces intentional imperfections, enhancing the feeling of fragility amidst strength.
