Artist Statement

This composition reflects the emotional conflict of longing and resolve, using a palette of deep black, stark white, and soft pale blue to evoke a balance of chaos and order. The collision of a dense black base against lighter hues suggests a struggle upward, almost like a ladder reaching for clarity amidst uncertainty. The arrangement features a clear ascent from bottom to top, highlighting the motif of hope. Broken pixels manifest as interruptions in the pattern, embodying the fragility of the climb. This layout captures the essence of pressure vs. release, with the primary conflict centered in the diagonal flow, creating tension in the square.
