Work Description:
|
Still has filled this entire composition with a rich blue color. Four fluttery black forms emerge from the edges: two appear in the bottom left corner and two come into view from the top edge. A bold yellow lifeline snakes into the scene between the two black forms at the bottom left, and a thick blood-red lifeline rises from the bottom right edge up to between the two black forms at the top right. Two smaller purple forms embrace the red line near its base. A single small purple disc-shaped object floats amid the blue ground off to the left of the red line's apex.
