Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects a struggle between control and surrender. The pale aqua and mist gray form a calming background representing control, while the striking alarm red punctuates the center, signifying moments of pressure and emotional eruptions. The flow embodies flicker, suggesting instability, with the stark contrasts creating a collision of feelings across the square. The ‘halo_void’ layout encapsulates a central dynamic encased in lighter tones, highlighted with accidental disruptions through broken pixels, illustrating imperfections in thought and emotion.
