Artist Statement
This composition embodies the emotional conflict between restlessness and peace. The rich palette of greens and golds suggests growth and stability, while the contrasting dark shades introduce an unsettling uncertainty. The layout features a diagonal thrust, where the light areas (representing peace) disrupt the dark fields (depicting restlessness), meeting at the center to signify a threshold. The use of broken pixels throughout reflects the imperfections in navigating these feelings, creating a sense of interruption and dynamic tension. The balance of forms emphasizes a push and pull relationship, making the viewer feel the duality of the emotions.
