Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional juxtaposition of control and surrender through a palette of warm and cool tones. The use of red and dark maroon represents a pressure-filled containment, while softer pinks embody a gentle release. The central area is densely packed with warmer colors, symbolizing an overfilled center, surrounded by cooler gray tones that give a quiet contrast. The interplay of thick outlines and broken pixels introduces disruption, mirroring the tension between control and release in the emotional landscape.
