Artist Statement
The emotional tone reflects a struggle between control and surrender, using the contrast of a heavy black outline to contain softer hues within—like a pulse striving for clarity against noise. The palette is anchored in dark tones to evoke intensity, with soft gold and pale green suggesting a flickering hope. The main collision occurs in the center, where broken dots of bright gold interrupt the dense black and dark violet fields, symbolizing the longing for clarity through chaos. The use of broken pixels adds a sense of imperfection, reinforcing the theme of disruption in an 'empty room' layout.
