Artist Statement
This piece explores the emotional tension between joy and grief. The palette of bright yellow and orange juxtaposes against deep blue and muted purple, symbolizing the lightness of joy battling the heaviness of grief. The arrangement flows upward, representing hope and escape, while the jagged edges create a sense of disruption. The use of patterns—stripes for joy and a maze for grief—creates a collision of movement and stillness, emphasized through the contrast of bright and muted colors. Broken pixels add imperfect elements, reflecting the nuance of emotion in an abstract narrative.
