Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the contrast between vitality and decay, with the palette emphasizing warmth and depth through burnt orange, dark red, charcoal, and gold. The primary collision occurs near the center, where vibrant, fiery pixels of orange and gold disrupt the softer, ashy greys. This embodies the conflict of spark vs ash—intense energy meets fading remnants, signifying resilience amidst fragility. The layout is dynamic and scattered, with organized chaos that allows for breathing space, emphasizing moments of tension and release.
