Artist Statement
This piece captures the juxtaposition of 'panic' and 'control' through dense patterns and stark contrasts. The chosen palette of burnt orange, dark red, charcoal, and gold evokes a sense of heat and intensity, reflecting the emotional turmoil of panic versus the calmer, more structured aspects of control. The arrangement employs a radial stripe pattern surrounding a central void, symbolizing the struggle between chaos and order. The broken pixel effect introduces an element of imperfection, emphasizing the theme of ‘pixel bleed’—the way emotions seep and interact. Overall, the rhythm reflects an upward flow that hints at hope yet is punctuated by abrupt interruptions, suggesting the inevitability of emotional conflict.
