This deep aquatic palette boils like an underwater tempest. Mysterious yet tremendous energies bubble outward from a central point. The scale is grand, uncertain—are we witnessing a quantum cleavage or a cosmic bursting. Is it the collapse of nebulae or the coalescing of some new universe? Schrödinger-wise, both notions hold truth here.
The textured edges of myriad scales catch light, ensuring this piece evolves continually. Its dynamic composition transforms with each nuanced interplay of light and shadow promising enduring aliveness. To create the distinctive cellular patterns, the artist employed her innovative "air painting" technique, which uses high-pressure bursts from an industrial compressor to propel wet oil paint in surprising and remarkable configurations.
