Artist Statement
The emotional tone here captures the conflict of pressure and release, represented by warm yellows and oranges clashing against cool deep blues and muted purples. This juxtaposition creates a sense of tension and confusion across the pixel layout, with a bottom-to-top flow that suggests upward movement, akin to tears or ash rising. The laid-out design mirrors lighter and darker tones, expressing the push-pull of emotions through the irregularity created by broken pixels. The abstract pattern suggests collisions in feelings and the fractured symmetry of life experiences.
