Artist Statement

This piece embodies the tension between control and surrender through its structured yet chaotic arrangement. It juxtaposes saturated cosmic indigo and deep teal with muted void black, creating a visual conversation of pressure contrasting with gentle release. The central overfilled area suggests an inner conflict, while the expansive outer fields reflect a release into openness. Broken pixels introduce intentional disruption, adding an element of imperfection, illustrating the emotional discomfort of boundary and overflow.
