Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects a struggle between clarity and confusion, represented by the stark contrast of yellows and deep blues. Warm tones (yellow, orange) collide with the cooler, muted colors (deep blue, muted purple), creating an emotional tension that suggests both vibrancy and restraint. The center features an accumulation of color density, breaking into sparsely populated edges, which echoes the theme of falling pixels. The patterns of dots represent confusion, while the noise evokes clarity, with broken pixels introducing imperfection throughout the composition.
