Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the interplay of softness and severity, encapsulating both gentle hues and stark boundaries. The color palette features soft powder pink and warm white representing softness, contrasted by the deep carbon black and steel gray reflecting severity. The layout of a dark border encapsulating a lighter center creates a frame that emphasizes the collision of emotions. The center 4x4 exhibits a spiraling pattern suggesting movement and pulse, while the outer edge remains firmly structured, hinting at control. Broken pixels add a sense of imperfection, echoing the idea that even within rigidity, softness can break through.
