Artist Statement
The emotional tone of this piece embodies the struggle between control and surrender, depicted through an interplay of static versus pulsating patterns. The color palette of mourning black, deep blue, new leaf, pale yellow, and stone reflects depth and renewal, with black symbolizing the depths of control, while the pale yellow signifies the gentle essence of release. The pattern layout is designed with descending pixels, symbolizing a stream of tension that starts concentrated at the center but gradually opens up towards the edges, conveying an overflow of feelings. The contrast lies heavily in the center, where black and deep blue create a dense, controlled focus that clashes against lighter, more vibrant colors at the edges, suggesting a delicate release of energy and emotion. Broken pixels are strategically placed to interrupt the flow, embodying imperfections inherent in the human experience. The overall abstract composition invites viewers to engage with the dichotomy of feelings, embracing both confinement and liberation.
