Artist Statement
The artwork embodies the emotional dichotomy of joy and grief through contrasting color patterns. The left side uses bright yellows and oranges symbolizing joy, arranged in a structured frame-like pattern, suggesting protection and energetic buoyancy. The right side uses deep blues and muted purples, arranged in a grid that conveys heaviness and complexity, representing grief. The stark separation creates a visual tension, illustrating the constant push-and-pull of these emotions, while hints of negative space suggest moments of relief amid pressure. The edge style is hard, creating a defined boundary between the two emotional states, while the broken pixel elements add a touch of imperfection, reflecting the chaos underlying these feelings.
