Artist Statement

This piece encapsulates the emotional interplay between pride and shame through a color palette reminiscent of fading memories. The dominant colors of sepia and faded blue evoke a sense of nostalgia, while the contrasting tan and dust gray introduce subtle yet potent tension. The pattern, inspired by flame and grid, reflects a collision of rhythmic chaos and structured calm. Each row presents a unique conflict of color that speaks to the struggles of competing emotions, with the broken pixels representing moments of imperfection and vulnerability. The 10% negative space allows a pause—a breath amidst the emotional turbulence—enhancing the overall narrative of rhythm and release.
