Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional collision of loneliness and connection through a stark contrast between deep, dark tones and fleeting highlights. The palette, inspired by lonely signals, features dominant blacks, navy blues, and touches of dim cyan, creating an emotional weight reminiscent of solitude interspersed with moments of brightness. The mirrored layout subtly disrupts symmetry, with strategic placements of lighter hues introducing tension that argues with the dominant dark spaces, simulating emotional pressure. Broken pixels add an essential layer of imperfection that resonates with the theme of unresolved feelings.
