Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional contrasts of control and surrender. The palette employs deep blacks and dark violets as a backdrop, symbolizing control and pressure, while softer tones of pale green and soft gold disrupt this with moments of warmth and hope. The grid structure is interrupted by layered pressure bands, illustrating the tension of containment versus the yielding nature of surrender. The broken pixels serve as intentional scars that suggest imperfections in the pursuit of equilibrium, enhancing the theme of overflowing yet contained emotions.
