Artist Statement
The emotional tone arises from the tension between grief and joy, represented by the stark contrast of muted blues with fiery oranges and yellows. The palette draws from the 'joy_grief' collection, evoking a sense of warmth against a cool backdrop. The top half showcases expanding sparks of joy, while the bottom half delivers a more fragmented and clustered feeling, signifying grief. The split-horizontal layout reinforces the emotional dichotomy, with the disordered placement of colors creating a sense of interruption, suggesting the struggle between these competing emotions. Broken pixels add imperfection, amplifying the layers of emotion, while a systematic approach guides the eye across the canvas, creating a rhythm of release and tension. Negative space invites the viewer to engage with the emotional narrative further, suggesting quiet amidst chaos.
