Artist Statement

This artwork captures the interplay between strength and vulnerability, using a palette that suggests safety and exposure. The upper half embodies strength through dense threads of warm brown and shelter green, while the lower half contrasts with stripes of pale skin and cold white to signify fragility. The collision of the two regions is accentuated by random broken pixels, creating a sense of disruption that reflects the tension inherent in the theme. The layout reinforces this by positioning strength at the top, giving a feeling of support over the inherent fragility below.
