Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional tension between softness and severity through the juxtaposition of muted tones and sharp contrasts. The palette choices of carbon black, warm white, and powder pink symbolize the struggle between harsh realities and gentle emotions. The main collision occurs in the central band, where warm white disrupts the surrounding darker hues, creating a visual pulse that mimics the essence of memory against motion. Each broken pixel represents a moment of imperfection, allowing the arrangement to express an abstract narrative of tension and release.
