Artist Statement

The emotional tone oscillates between nostalgia and progress, manifesting in a split composition where the top half represents a rigid grid of organized progress, while the bottom exhibits softer, irregular targeting shapes reflecting nostalgia. The chosen palette features deep navy and black to invoke a sense of depth and introspection, contrasted against vibrant strokes of dim cyan and single white to represent the urgency of progress. Collisions occur where the structured grid clamps down, while the irregular dripping pixels suggest a release, creating a visual tension that mirrors the themes of rise vs fall. Overall, the layout embodies an argument between two emotional states through an asymmetric pattern that feels both balanced and unresolved.
