Artist Statement

This composition reflects the emotional tension between sparks of energy and the remnants of ash, embodying a dynamic contrast of light and shadow. The color palette integrates vibrant greens with muted grays, symbolizing growth amidst decay, while the arrangement allows the spark tones to invade diagonally from the corner, creating a sense of movement. The collision point is intentional, where bright colors break against the soft residue, signaling the struggle of memory against erasure. Broken pixels are included as imperfections that add to the narrative, suggesting fragility within resilience. The grid reads as a tapestry of layered emotions where the duality of pressure and release play out visually.
