Artist Statement
The emotional tones of envy and gratitude create a dynamic tension reflected in the color choices and arrangement. The palette of yellow and orange symbolizes gratitude's warmth, while deep blue and muted purple represent envy’s coolness. This conflict is evident where the warm hues collide with the cooler ones, creating a zigzag pattern suggesting both a mirrored conflict and the weight of emotion. The central arrangement represents heaviness amidst a lighter surrounding, embodying gratitude's presence against envy’s pressure. Broken pixels introduce imperfection, enhancing the sense of vulnerability in this emotional interplay. Negative space is preserved to emphasize the tension and separation between these emotional states.
