Artist Statement

This composition captures the emotional tension between joy and grief through a strategic use of color and pattern. The palette of yellow and orange represents joy with warmth and expansiveness, while the muted blue and purple symbolize grief’s depth and introspection. The rows alternate in intensity, creating a rhythmic collision that evokes the push and pull of emotions. The pattern directs the viewer’s eye upward in some areas and downward in others, mirroring the concept of rising signals and chaos. Broken pixels add an element of imperfection, enhancing the feelings associated with both joy and grief, while ensuring negative space remains prominent, allowing the composition to breathe.
