Artist Statement

This artwork explores the emotional dichotomy of control and surrender. The palette features deep indigo and void black to evoke feelings of pressure and containment, juxtaposed with star white and cold gold for moments of release and illumination. The central collision represents the overflow of control, shown through dense dot patterns merging with softer fields. The thick outlines depict areas of confinement, while the broken pixels suggest cracks in control, allowing hints of surrender to emerge, creating a rhythmic interplay that draws the eye across the canvas.
