Artist Statement

This artwork encapsulates the struggle between joy and grief through color contrast and a fragmented layout. The palette blends deep blues and muted purples to represent grief alongside vibrant yellows and oranges illustrating joy. The color collision occurs in the central horizontal split, establishing a tension between the dark, heavy tones below and the light, spark-like colors above. This split evokes a wave-like rhythm—suggesting uplift yet framed with a thin outline to reinforce separation. The broken pixel technique introduces a sense of imperfection, symbolizing the unpredictability of emotions. Overall, the composition radiates a sense of momentary escape from heaviness into lightness, reflecting on the emotional waves of life.
