Artist Statement
This composition captures the tension between dread and relief using a palette of deep reds and grays, symbolizing weighty emotions and fragile hope. The darker tones dominate the upper rows, representing the dread, while lighter shades rise from the bottom conveying relief. The staircase pattern evokes movement and struggle, where the battle between these emotions takes place. The broken pixels at strategic points create a sense of interruption, echoing moments where relief peeks through the heavy layers of dread.
