Artist Statement

This artwork encapsulates the emotional dichotomy of pressure and quiet by utilizing a palette of muted and dark tones with contrasting accents. The layout features a central collision point that radiates outward, creating tension and a sense of flow from corner to corner. The braiding patterns intensify the feeling of compression on one side, while allowing for soft breaks in the flow, symbolizing clarity emerging from confusion. The intentional disruption of broken pixels reflects echoes of tension breaking, giving the piece a sense of dynamic rhythm and release.
