Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between the vulnerability of exposure and the protective weight of safety, creating a tension that flows across the piece. The palette features colors symbolizing safety (shelter_green and warm_brown) and exposure (pale_skin, cold_white, and open_blue). The collision occurs centrally with brighter colors representing exposure meeting the darker tones of safety, creating a visual and emotional pulse. The two pulses of color play off one another, interrupted by broken pixels that hint at imperfections, emphasizing the theme of conflict between a fortified center and an open field.
