Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the tension of 'quiet vs pressure' through a palette that juxtaposes muted tones with stark accents. The dark navy serves as a grounding field, embodying stillness, while the compressed red creates sharp contrasts, suggesting bursts of pressure. The arrangement follows a rising signal layout, where colors densely cluster lower but release into softer tones towards the top, simulating an emotional ascent. Broken pixels interspersed throughout disrupt the smooth transitions, representing moments of confusion and the chaos of counterflow, enhancing the overall tension.
