Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional dichotomy of control and surrender. The palette includes ripe and acid greens with honey gold highlights to reflect the tension of overflowing control clashing with the soft, yielding nature of surrender. The layout employs a cross-current movement, creating a collision in the center where vibrant colors push against muted tones, representing the struggle between structured pressure and gentle release. Broken pixels interrupt the flow, emphasizing imperfection amidst an otherwise composed space.
