Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional undertone of defiance versus submission using contrasting elements of dark and light. The palette draws from 'rage_calm', with deep blacks representing submission's weight and lighter blues indicating defiance's optimism. The central focus is a jagged edge of black intersecting with pale blue hints, evoking disruption against an otherwise subdued frame. As the colors cascade from heavier to lighter, the arrangement symbolizes a tension between openness and closure, speaking to the struggle between love and betrayal. Moreover, some pixels are intentionally broken, introducing imperfections that reflect the chaos within these emotional states.
