Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional dichotomy of nostalgia and progress through a warm vs cool contrast, utilizing an 'ancient_fire' palette. The upper half symbolizes nostalgia using a split-screen of warm burnt orange and subdued dark reds, evoking a sense of memory and warmth. The lower half represents progress with cool charcoal tones and golden highlights, suggesting clarity and ambition. A stark division at the center highlights the rise vs fall theme, where the split creates a visual echo of tension. Broken pixels in the form of slight color deviations add imperfection and depth, reinforcing the theme of time's relentless advance against the backdrop of reminiscence.
