Artist Statement
This artwork explores the emotional tug-of-war between envy and gratitude through stark contrast and subtle interactions. The palette of navy, black, and dim cyan reflects loneliness and introspection, evoking feelings of both depth and tension. The main contrast resides between the soft central area, symbolizing gratitude, and the darker edges, representing envy—a visual balance. The arrangement suggests rising versus falling emotions, with broken pixels introducing imperfection, mirroring the complexities of these feelings.
