Artist Statement
The overall emotional tone is built around the dichotomy of softness and severity, reflecting a balance of gentle edges and sharp contrasts. The palette is composed of powder pink and warm white to embody softness, intermingled with carbon black and sharp crimson to evoke severity. The left half of the grid adopts a crack pattern, representing fluidity and irregularity, while the right side employs a barcode pattern for rigid definition. The main collision occurs in the center where soft hues meet harsh tones, suggesting a dynamic interplay of emotions that encapsulate guilt and forgiveness. The layout reinforces this tension with a vertical split that visually separates but thematically connects the two emotional extremes.
