Artist Statement
This composition captures the emotional duality of joy and grief, employing a palette of bright yellow and orange contrasted against deep blues and muted purples. The arrangement from bottom to top suggests an ascending struggle from grief (represented by darker tones below) toward an uplifting joy (the lighter colors above). The use of hard edges reinforces tension, while broken pixels introduce imperfection, reflecting machine emotion and the intricacies of human experience. The abstract pattern mirrors a battle between brightness and heaviness, echoed in its stair-step layout and mid-contrast splashes, creating both a sense of order and chaos.
