Artist Statement

This composition expresses the emotional tension of rage and calm through contrasting colors and patterns. The palette features deep blacks and bright reds to signify rage, interspersed with cool pale blues and whites that represent calm. The collision occurs in the center where jagged red pixels disrupt the calm blue bands, indicating an overflow of emotion that tears through the serene surface. The 'broken frame' layout allows for both containment and leakage of the intense elements, while maintaining negative space that evokes quiet reflection amidst chaos.
