Artist Statement

The emotional tone explores the tug-of-war between dread and relief, employing a palette that mirrors both feelings; soft sky and pale mint suggest relief while storm gray and near black embody dread. The main collision occurs in the center, where dense dark pixels interrupt lighter hues, reflecting the struggle of emotions. The patterns of rain (dread) break against target (relief), creating an abstract visual representation of tension and release. Broken pixels add imperfection, enhancing the sense of emotional conflict.
