Synopsis

A glitch is a visual error created by the smallest units that make up a digital screen: pixels and the three primary colors of light, RGB. Eight representative colors Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, White, and Black form a screen composed of square pixels, each maintaining the same proportions as an individual pixel. These colors randomly multiply, overlap, and intertwine, repeatedly creating chaotic glitch-like forms. Through this complex and disordered structure, the work expresses an inner flow that gradually becomes increasingly intense and uncontrollable, conveying a growing sense of confusion and turmoil.

Artist's intent

A “glitch” marked by a scrambled and distorted screen, is much like my inner world: an error caused by a conflict between a heart full of ambitions and the anxiety of falling short. This imagery of a screen shattering under a flurry of conflicting information and tastes wasn’t born from the pressure to create a masterpiece. Instead, it started from visualizing my raw, authentic self in that exact moment.
