Artist Statement
The emotional tone captures a dance between control and surrender, with rigid lines suggesting containment and softer edges symbolizing release. The palette blends warm reds with cool grays to evoke feelings of tension and unburdening. The main collision occurs in the center where dark maroon and bright pink meet, while the use of broken pixels introduces intentional disruption to the flow, reflecting the stuttering motions of surrendering control. This layout creates a forced symmetry that hints at struggle yet invites exploration.
