Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between defiance and submission, represented through stark color contrasts. The warm coral (#FF6F61) and signal cyan (#00BFFF) clash aggressively against the restrained cold slate (#4B5454) and blue black (#101820). This collision occurs predominantly in the center, embodying defiance, while the edges recede into softer tones, suggesting submission. The chosen palette reflects a struggle between isolation and connection, with broken pixels adding intentional imperfection, evoking a narrative of conflict and resolution. The layout, a broken frame, permits emotional 'leaks' that enhance the overall tension between the two states of being.
