Artist Statement

This artwork encapsulates the emotional tension between defiance and submission through the juxtaposition of dark, heavy colors and bright, light accents. The color palette, drawn from 'mourning_renewal,' suggests a depth of emotion, oscillating between the weight of defiance and the airy elements symbolizing submission. The main contrast occurs in the center, where a bright yellow interrupts the surrounding darkness, creating a visual metaphor for conflict and resolution. The patterns of stairs (defiance) and tide (submission) collide as they spiral inward, representing the push and pull of these emotions while broken pixels add an element of imperfection and storytelling.
