Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional spectrum of defiance and submission through contrasting colors and patterns. The chosen palette reflects a battle of restraint with deep hues of blackened plum and iron gray accentuated by the warmth of small orange. The dominant dark colors fill the space, presenting a rebellious feel contrasted by subtle quiet areas in muted cream. The main collision is centered, where the pressure band pattern (representing defiance) clashes with a stair-like submission pattern along the edges. This interplay evokes the tension between chaos and order while leaving intentional broken pixels to suggest disruption.
