Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the dichotomy of rage and calm, utilizing a palette that juxtaposes fiery reds with the tranquility of pale blue and black. The layout forms a halo void where turbulent reds collide with calm blues, creating a center that feels both contained and overflowing. The choice of patterns — 'hinge' for rage and 'stepwell' for calm — emphasizes this conflict, with broken pixels representing interruptions in the emotional flow. The main visual tension sits in the center, where striking contrasts of high saturation and softer tones engage in an abstract dance, echoing the themes of eroded symmetry and contained chaos.
