The piece is composed of three layers with multiple iterations, adding complexity and energy while retaining the freshness that characterizes the artist's abstract work. The surface predominantly has a rich matte finish, but reveals a subtle shine when viewed from different angles in natural light. Upon closer inspection, delicate moments of transparency emerge from the overlapping shapes and variations in paint consistency across the layers.
