Artist Statement
This piece encapsulates the emotional tension between control and surrender through its contrasting color palette of warm oranges and yellows against calming deep blues and muted purples. The overfilled center, representing pressure, is interrupted by scattered dots that symbolize surrender, creating a visual collision in the center of the square while still allowing for quiet spaces at the edges. Broken pixels add an element of imperfection, suggesting an incomplete but ongoing process of balancing feelings.
