Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional tension between tenderness and rage. The palette combines deep blacks and bold reds to evoke a sense of intensity and heat, contrasted by soft pale blues and whites, representing calm and gentleness. The dominant black and red pattern embodies rage, while the interruptions of blue and white create 'quiet channels' suggesting softness and tenderness. The central focus is a dense mass of red 'rage' pixels interspersed with layers of blue, symbolizing a continuous push-pull between contrasting emotions that collide around a negative space path, echoing the notion of 'inside vs outside'.
