Artist Statement

This composition evokes the emotional tension between awe and terror through a deliberate arrangement of colors that reflect hope juxtaposed with instability. The palette, featuring varying shades of pink, red, gray, and dark maroon, creates a vivid contrast that signifies warmth against shadows. The main collision unfolds in the center, where the upward movement of light colors meets the downward pull of darker shades. The split-screen pattern allows for a visual echo, representing a struggle between stability and chaos, achieved via broken pixel placements that hint at fragmented memory. The overall layout leaves negative space, adding a sense of openness while maintaining the emotional weight.
