Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the tension between quiet and pressure through color disparity and pattern flow. The palette combines off-white and faint peach for softness, contrasted with deeper hues like dark navy and compressed red, illustrating the emotional pull of density. The main collision occurs at the center, where compressed red intricately weaves through the softer field colors, mimicking a pulse amidst stillness. The layout mimics breaks in pressure, allowing tranquility to seep through, while the edge style maintains this fracture with 'blocked edges.' This mixture of maze and glitch patterns creates a scene that evokes calm yet agitated emotionality.
