Artist Statement

The artwork embodies the emotional contrast of restlessness and peace through the interplay of dark and muted colors which represent unrest (#000000, #441D20) against warmer, lighter tones (#E9BFA5, #FFD4A3) that evoke tranquility. The use of disjointed patterns simulates a 'threshold' effect, where sections of calm and chaos collide at a central diagonal axis, suggesting a push and pull between memory and motion. The broken pixels mimic disruptions in thought and memory, enhancing the emotional tension within the defined negative space, allowing both feelings to resonate within the confines of the square without becoming overwhelming.
