Artist Statement
The emotional tone of this artwork embodies the contrast between the explosive nature of rage and the gentle embrace of tenderness. The palette blends saturated red to evoke rage with muted pale blue and white, symbolizing calm. The collision occurs through dense maze-like patterns of rage that crisscross into soft, gentle stripes representing tenderness, particularly around the center where the most claustrophobic pressure is felt. This layout portrays the journey from intense emotions to subtle releases, allowing for a narrative of conflict and resolution. The broken pixels add intentional disruptions, hinting at imperfection, while the quiet channel creates a pathway through the chaos, providing a sense of the unfolding inward journey.
