Fiery reds dominate the composition, balanced by deep blacks, earthy greens, muted greys, and soft off-whites. The surface is richly textured, allowing the light to catch and reveal subtle variations in tone.

The first panel conveys the raw intensity of the land, while the second shifts the red energy upward, introducing more space, calm, and balance. Together, the diptych suggests a rhythm of movement and stillness, tension and harmony — a meditation on the vitality and memory of the earth.
