Artist Statement

This composition captures the emotional struggle between control and surrender. The dark palette suggests containment and measured pressure, while the softer accents of pale green and soft gold hint at moments of release. The broken pixels represent interruptions and scars from the struggle, creating a visual tension against the more orderly, controlled patterns. The central collision of darker tones with softer hues illustrates how control often gives way to surrender in a chaotic yet structured manner.
