Artist Statement

This piece captures the emotional clash between awe and terror. The palette, dominated by dark navy and dim cyan against stark white, signifies heaviness and lightness intertwined. The contrast is pronounced at the diagonal axis where dark colors collide with lighter shades, evoking a sense of pressure giving way to brief moments of release. The pattern reflects an argument grid, with dark pixels framing bursts of brightness, creating an uneven tension that resonates deeply, embodying the feeling of contradictions colliding within the bounds of negative space.
