Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures the interplay between defiance and submission, manifesting through vibrant contrasts and subdued backgrounds. The palette combines pale mint and soft sky for a sense of tranquility, contrasted with storm gray and near black to add tension and intensity, suggesting a struggle between two polar emotions. The central collision occurs where defiance (represented by sharp, glitch-like disruptions) meets spaces of submission, evoking a sense of complexity and layered emotion, much like the complexities of rebellion and surrender interwoven in human experiences. The layout and flow mirror a rising signal, with color choices reflecting hope and sublimation while maintaining an 8x8 grid that remains visually striking yet abstract.
