Artist Statement

This composition explores the dual emotional tones of tenderness and rage through a careful interplay of colors. The chosen palette of red, black, pale blue, and white captures the explosive nature of rage juxtaposed against the gentleness of tenderness. The hard-edged structural layout presents a collision of diagonally laid rage patterns and soft, braided tenderness across the center as a channel, creating visual tension and depth. The darker tones anchor the piece while lighter hues bleed into the space, depicting movement from quiet to explosive. The layout promotes a sense of conflict and resolution, with broken pixels introducing intentional imperfections, emphasizing emotional scars and growth.
