Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects a tug-of-war between envy and gratitude, using a palette of deep contrasted colors that accentuates tension. The dark violet represents envy while the soft gold embodies gratitude, creating a visual conflict. The layout emulates rising signals as colors ascend in intensity. Broken pixels invoke imperfection, hinting at the fragility of both emotions. The zigzag pattern conveys interruption and flow, suggesting an emotional struggle. The arrangement features dense areas to evoke pressure, disrupted by lighter spaces to signify moments of calm, enhancing the overall dynamic essence.
