Artist Statement

This composition embodies the emotional tension of joy and grief through its split horizontal layout. The palette combines bright yellows and oranges, representing joy, in the upper half, while the lower half is enveloped in deep blues and muted purples, symbolizing grief. The choice of a split_screen pattern for joy, characterized by energetic warm tones, collides with the mirrored pattern of grief, creating visual echoes that suggest an upward surge against a downward pull. An intentional placement of broken pixels introduces a sense of imperfection, resonating with the emotional complexity of rising hope against the backdrop of loss. The negative space allows the colors to breathe, presenting a narrative of coexistence between joy and grief, order and chaos.
