This large-scale abstract evokes a sense of layered time and memory through its bold use of texture, color, and symbolism. The vertical motion of blues and yellows suggests a blurred skyline at dusk—or dawn—where nature and noise overlap. Thick, deliberate strokes are softened by ethereal washes, while two circular forms—one earthen, one solar—anchor the chaos in quiet duality.

Embedded in the top and lower quadrants are textured spheres—like medallions or portals—inviting close inspection. The upper orb, wrapped in a halo of gestural mesh, offers the impression of language just out of reach, while the lower disk feels grounded and mysterious, like a sealed secret. A sequence of red-ringed markings floats weightlessly across a concrete-like patch—almost like remnants of constellations or coded memories.

The words in the round: Don't look back. You're not going that way.

This piece was created during a period of personal reckoning and transformation. Both vibrant and introspective, it explores contrast—light and dark, known and unknown, anchored and adrift. The work stands as a poetic testament to the artist’s lifelong dialogue between inner landscapes and external expression.
