Artist Statement

This composition embodies the tension between certainty and curiosity through contrasting colors and patterns. The palette combines muted hues, such as dust gray and off-white, to signify a sense of stability, while brighter accents like compressed red create points of interest that invite exploration. The layout, which is predominantly dim with a small bright cluster, reflects the struggle of finding clarity amidst chaos. The patterns collide at the center, where the split-screen certainty clashes with the threshold crashes of curiosity, emulating interference. This results in an emotional tension that captures the essence of rising signals against a backdrop of static, suggesting a rhythmic flow that transpires from bottom to top, revealing both relief and dread through the arrangement of colors.
