Artist Statement

The emotional tone juxtaposes relief and dread, highlighted through the choice of a stark palette of deep navy and soft dim cyan. The top half leans into darker shades, suggesting weight and confinement, while the lower half reveals lighter colors implying release and calmness. The collision occurs at the center, where deep hues meet lighter tones, capturing the tension of breaking symmetry. The broken pixel elements introduce imperfection, evoking an emotional fracture, while the arrangement reflects a gradual transition from dense to airy, suggesting movement and flow.
