Artist Statement

This abstract composition embodies the dynamic emotional tug-of-war between 'panic' and 'control'. The palette includes deep blacks and purples suggesting stability, contrasted by soft golds and pale greens representing moments of hope and tension. The pixels are arranged to create a sense of upward and downward movement, mimicking emotional highs and lows, reflecting the internal struggle. The two distinct patterns of dots and frames signify the chaotic and controlled aspects of the emotions, with broken pixels introducing subtle imperfections that further enhance the theme of instability. The overall arrangement emphasizes negative space, amplifying feelings of both emptiness and potential.
