Artist Statement

This artwork captures the emotional tone of defiance against submission through color and arrangement. A palette of deep wine and soft gold expresses rich contrast, while rhythms of ash gray and warm ivory evoke a sense of tension. The dominant defiance elements are found in the upper-left diagonal, where darker colors create a bold confrontation. Meanwhile, lighter hues recede towards the bottom right, suggesting submission. The broken pixels serve to interrupt order, enhancing the theme of chaos versus control, while maintaining a deliberate imbalance that mirrors the emotional conflict encapsulated in the seed.
