Artist Statement

This composition captures the emotional tone of the seed through an interplay of quiet and dense pressure. The palette features muted tones of off-white and dust gray to convey a soft backdrop, contrasted with compressed red to create tension. The primary collision occurs diagonally across the square, where the patterns of stack (representing pressure) clash with tide (representing quiet), creating a dynamic visual narrative. The inclusion of broken pixels adds an element of disruption, echoing the chaotic nature of the emotions expressed.
