Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the tension between defiance and submission, using sharp angular contrasts and soft receding colors. The palette chosen represents intimacy amidst distance, where warm tones push against cool tones, creating a visual friction. The central collision occurs with darker colors forming a shield-like structure that repels the surrounding lighter hues, symbolizing a center under threat yet holding firm. The broken pixels add intentional imperfections, suggesting scars shaped by conflict, emphasizing resilience. This composition captures the conflict of emotions: the push and pull between density and emptiness, framed within a quiet space to highlight the strong contrasts.
