Artist Statement

This piece embodies the emotional spectrum between awe and terror, weaving a narrative through tension and instability. The chosen palette features soft pinks and darker maroons, creating a striking juxtaposition that suggests warmth meeting intimidation. The outer frame of grays symbolizes chaos, while the core reflects awe through radial spread, imitating waves of emotion that ripple toward the center. The deliberate asymmetry and broken pixels enhance the sense of imperfection, embodying memories fragmented by sharp contrasts of feeling, echoing the instability of remembering versus forgetting.
