Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the tension between control and surrender, utilizing a palette of muted tones to represent the pressure. The dark navy and compressed red represent intensity, while the faint peach and off-white provide contrast and softness. The arrangement features a strong central cluster (overfilled center) with the other colors radiating outward, illustrating a collision of pressure against quiet spaces. The broken pixels create intentional disruptions, symbolizing moments of surrender within a structured maze-like pattern, enhancing the overall emotional depth.
