Work Description: 
Fiery white strokes rise up along the left edge of this work and flicker towards the top center. Several blue streaks are placed amongst the white pigment in the bottom left corner. The rest of this painting is filled with bare canvas, with the exception of a yellow orb-like form and black orb-like form which sit near one another in the top right and center quadrant.
