Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the push and pull between fear and hope. The palette includes deep blacks and dark violets representing fear, contrasted with soft gold and pale green symbolizing hope. The collision occurs in the flow from the bottom to the top, with jagged patterns of dark edges crossing with rising, soft stripes in lighter tones. This layout creates a sense of ascent and escape while also suggesting underlying dread with its darker corners and broken pixels, fostering a narrative of struggle and resilience.
