Artist Statement

The emotional tone contrasts vulnerability and strength through a gentle gradient of colors. The selected palette of pale aqua and alarm red represents the delicate balance of exposure and protection, using clear white as a quiet field and mist gray to suggest softness. The main collision unfolds diagonally, where the strength emerges as dense blocks of color that shelter the exposed areas, echoing a braid's complexity through interwoven patterns of vulnerability. Broken pixels are strategically used to symbolize imperfections and breaks in the structure, enhancing the overall tension within the composition.
