Artist Statement
This artwork captures the emotional duality of joy and grief through a deliberate color palette of warm and cool tones. The bright yellows and oranges signify the spark of joy, contrasting sharply with the muted purples and deep blues representing the weight of grief. The layout reflects a corner invasion, where joy attempts to spread diagonally yet encounters the stronger, more persistent presence of grief. The visual tension between open brightness and dense darkness creates a dynamic rhythm, embodying the push and pull of these conflicting emotions. Broken pixels disrupt the flow, suggesting imperfection and the reality of emotion's complexity.
