Artist Statement
This composition explores the emotional tension between loneliness and connection. The palette features deep reds and grays, symbolizing the raw, sometimes painful contrast of separation and unity. The arrangement emphasizes a stark inner core surrounded by chaotic edges that suggest hidden emotions and bursts of emotion. The pattern mimics a burst from the center, with fragmented ‘broken pixels’ accentuating feelings of jagged isolation against attempts to connect.
