Artist Statement

This piece explores the emotional dichotomy between 'spark' and 'ash'. The palette, drawn from rich burnt orange and deep charcoal, encapsulates the warmth of conflict and the coolness of restraint. The bold central pixels punctuate the quiet, as jagged edges create a sense of tension and interruption. The patterns collide diagonally, embodying an argument, with sparks of gold scattered across the edges to illustrate moments of brightness amidst the memory of fading heat, echoing themes of resilience against fragility.
