Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects a battle between relief and dread. The palette includes pale mint and soft sky to embody relief, contrasted sharply by storm gray and near black that evoke dread. The layout emphasizes a sparse center filled with the lighter colors, suggesting airy relief, which is invaded by a dense cluster of darker hues on one edge, symbolizing encroaching dread. The collision happens off-center to create tension. The central shape, inspired by broken steps, represents the inherent instability of the experience, expressed through the 'broken pixels' that fragment the uniformity, adding a layer of imperfection and realism.
