Artist Statement

This composition explores the emotional tension between softness and severity through a palette of light and dark shades. The colors shift from powder pink, representing softness, to carbon black, embodying severity. The center features a pale, exposed area that contrasts with the darker edges, suggesting vulnerability within a protective boundary. The diagonal layout invites unintended collisions between the soft, broken frame pattern and the rigid grid structure, visualizing the themes of guilt and forgiveness with a push-and-pull dynamic. The broken pixels introduce intentional imperfections that represent the unpredictable nature of emotions, enhancing the abstract narrative.
