Artist Statement

The emotional tone emerges from the interplay of 'spark' and 'ash,' representing the dichotomy of potential energy against remnants of the past. The palette, 'intimacy_distance,' combines warm tones of rose clay with cool blues and distant lilacs to embody this contrast. The main collision occurs diagonally, where the jagged interplay of broken dots (spark) and soft threads (ash) provoke a sense of tension and release across the grid. The broken pixels introduce imperfection, amplifying themes of resilience against fragility, accentuating the fragmented nature of memory and recollection.
