Artist Statement
This artwork captures the emotional tension between control and surrender through contrasting patterns and colors. The palette of black, dark violet, soft gold, and pale green plays with themes of pressure (darker colors) versus release (lighter, softer colors). The layout centers around an overfilled center, suggesting emotional burden, while surrounding patterns of channels and mazes create visual complexity. The main collision occurs at the center where the dense maze pattern creates a disruption against the fluid channels, symbolizing the interplay of opposing forces. Broken pixels serve as intentional anomalies, embodying the theme of surrender within the structure of control.
