Artist Statement

This piece explores the emotional tension between spark and ash, representing moments of ignition and decay. The palette is bold, with contrasting electric blue and magenta invoking sudden brightness against a backdrop of deep black, emphasizing feelings of both hunger and restraint. The arrangement reflects a spiral pressure layout, with the electric colors emerging abruptly in lower density spaces, while the black grounds the composition. The jagged edges and broken pixels introduce a sense of fragility within resilience, capturing the push and pull of memory and erasure.
