Artist Statement

This artwork explores the emotional juxtaposition of fear and hope through the use of a carefully selected palette and deliberate color placement. The dark colors symbolize fear, creating a heavy, dense atmosphere, while the softly glowing gold and pale green represent hope, striving upward amid the shadows. The central arrangement reflects a split vertical flow, mirroring the tension between light and weight, embodying an abstract burst of emotion. The broken pixels introduce imperfections, enhancing the feeling of anxiety, while the negative space allows for moments of calm, inviting the viewer to both feel pressure and relief.
