Artist Statement

This composition captures the emotional tension of 'spark vs ash' through contrasting areas of vibrant green and muted gray. The palette was chosen to embody a connection between life and decay—'ripe_green' suggests growth, while 'burnt quiet' reflects absence. The main collision is found centrally, where the echo of the spark meets the footings of ash, creating dynamic tension. The diagonal flow enhances the feeling of movement and wave-like patterns, representing an argument between vitality and restraint. Broken pixels add visual disruptions to signify memory and impermanence.
