Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures the struggle between quietude and pressure, evident in the color distribution. The palette leans towards muted shades like dust gray and faint peach on the left, while the compressed red and dark navy dominate the right, creating a visual tension. This split layout exploits the contrast where the main collision occurs in the middle, representing the intersection of these feelings. The organized chaos of broken pixels parallels the 'shatter against tide' phrase, with colors shifting from soft to intense, echoing emotional conflict.
