Artist Statement

This artwork explores the emotional conflict between softness and severity, creating a visual tension that resonates throughout the grid. The palette combines soft hues like powder pink and warm white with stark contrasts offered by carbon black and sharp crimson, accentuating the collision between gentleness and harshness. The placement of colors suggests a downward and upward movement, reflecting both rising pulses and weights pulling down, creating an organic spiral pattern. Broken pixels introduce an element of imperfection, enhancing the disconnect between softness and severity, while the negative spaces invite contemplation, embodying guilt and forgiveness in the movement throughout the composition.
