Artist Statement

The emotional tone of this piece captures the juxtaposition between quietude and pressure through color and spatial organization. The dark navy (#001F3F) represents pressure, forming dense clusters, while muted tones like off white (#F8F9FA) and faint peach (#F5D1C2) establish a gentle, quiet field. The layout suggests a rising signal, with dark colors interrupting lighter hues in a diagonal pattern, mimicking a clash of opposing flows. The use of broken pixels introduces imperfections, reinforcing the theme of shattering against the tide. The overall structure elicits feelings of clarity amidst confusion, inviting the viewer into a dynamic visual experience.
