Artist Statement

The artwork embodies the emotional conflict between softness and severity, evoking tension through the warm vs. cool contrast of the palette. The collision occurs in the center where sharp crimson meets the more muted carbon black and warm white, creating an echo of emotional struggle. The pulse-like marks suggest a rhythmic pattern that resonates with guilt and forgiveness, while the broken pixels introduce imperfection, reflecting the ongoing dynamic between control and chaos. This arrangement invites contemplation of conflicting emotions, similar to the spiral motion in the seed.
