Artist Statement
The emotional tone reveals a clash between defiance and submission, illustrated through a swirling inward spiral that contrasts dense and empty fields. The 'awe-terrify' palette, featuring deep teal and cosmic indigo, emphasizes tension and shadow, while bright accents of star white create moments of sharp interruption. The spiral motif moves from a concentrated, dark center outward to a lighter periphery, embodying defiance against a submission to pattern. Broken pixels disrupt the spatial continuity, suggesting imperfection and resistance, enhancing the central struggle between light and dark.
