Artist Statement

The artwork captures the tension between envy and gratitude through contrasting color placements. The dark palette represents envy with burnt orange and dark red, while gold suggests gratitude, creating an emotional push and pull. The pattern flows diagonally up on the left and down on the right, visualizing the struggle between rising aspirations and falling fears. The broken pixels introduce an element of imperfection, enhancing the theme of a shattered mirror reflecting mixed emotions, while ensuring a sense of negative space to prevent overwhelming the viewer.
