Fluid, ribbon-like forms of bright yellow sweep and interlock over a saturated green ground, creating a sense of movement and organic rhythm. The brushwork is visible and deliberate, with soft edges and subtle texture adding depth to the otherwise flat color fields. The interplay between positive and negative space evokes natural forms—suggestive of leaves, light, or pathways—while remaining resolutely nonrepresentational. The overall effect is energetic, luminous, and immersive.
