Artist Statement

The emotional tone conveys a tension between control and surrender, illustrated through contrasting colors and patterns. The chosen palette of warm corals and oranges against cooler yellows and blues creates a vivid interplay that reflects this struggle. The central area is filled with a dense layering of colors that symbolize overflow, while the edges feature more muted tones, representing containment. The broken pixels add intentional disruptions, suggesting vulnerability amidst a quest for stability. This collision predominantly occurs at the center, visually echoing the theme of pressure versus release, resulting in a dynamic visual narrative that empowers the core message of 'Hunger vs Restraint'.
