Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional rift between emptiness and desire, explored through contrasting warm and cool tones. The chosen colors from the 'joy_grief' palette—deep blue for emptiness and hints of warm yellow and orange for desire—create an interplay of warmth against a cooler background. The radial pattern suggests the allure of desire, while the mirroring implies introspection and loneliness, resulting in a dynamic tension throughout. The asymmetrical layout, reminiscent of a rising signal, carries emotional weight through fragments of broken pixels, reflecting imperfections in our striving towards fulfillment.
