Artist Statement
The artwork reflects the tension between vulnerability and strength through contrasting colors and patterns. Stark black shades create a strong foundational presence, representing strength, while softer whites and blues symbolize vulnerability. The collision occurs primarily at the center, where patterns of 'stairs' and 'ladder' intersect, illustrating the conflict of exposure and protection. Engagement with the color palette, particularly the warm orange against cooler tones, evokes a sense of both danger and safety, with broken pixels adding a layer of imperfection and tension within this emotional journey.
