Bursting with exceptional vibrancy, this work uses a distinct, cross-hatched scratching technique over bright color bursts to simulate physical vibrations of light. Spheres of pure amber, intense ruby red, and brilliant sapphire blue collide and overlap, creating a dizzying, joyous texture. The intricate line work gives the entire surface a woven, almost textile-like complexity.
