Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects a struggle between control and surrender, embodied through contrasting patterns of barcodes and grids. The palette of black, dark violet, soft gold, and pale green represents the tension in this dynamic, where the darker hues project control while the warmer tones suggest surrender. The collision of barcodes at the center signifies pressure against the soft yielding of the surrounding grid, creating a visual narrative of conflict and resolution within the structured format. Broken pixels disrupt the flow, reminding us of imperfections in this duality.
