Artist Statement

This artwork reflects the emotional duality of nostalgia and progress through its color choices and layout. The dark side embodies nostalgia with shades of black and dark violet, creating a weighty, introspective atmosphere. In contrast, the right side, representing progress, features lighter colors like soft gold and pale green, invoking feelings of hope and forward motion. The split layout creates a vibrant tension between density and lightness, suggesting a struggle between holding onto the past and moving forward. The broken pixels add an element of imperfection, symbolizing the fluid nature of memory and advancement.
