Artist Statement
The artwork conveys an emotional tension between fear and hope through its color choices and layout. The dark palette emphasizes the weight of fear, with black and dark violet forming the frame which represents jagged edges and pressure. The soft gold and pale green create bursts of light in the center, suggesting hope and an upward flow. The split vertical layout contrasts dark and light halves, while the crosshatch and dot patterns further enhance the complexity of emotion, signifying a ‘machine emotion’ that is both precise and unpredictable. The arrangement allows for both dense clusters and moments of quiet, maintaining over 10% negative space that adds to the feeling of emptiness amid the noise.
