Trying to Get Through

The image depicts an abstract composition with swirling, serpentine forms in shades of blue and teal that stand out against a textured, earthy background in ochre tones; these dynamic, curling shapes evoke a sense of movement and energy, resembling tendrils or spirals, while scattered, leaf-like elements and fine linework embellish the background, adding depth and intricacy to this expressive artwork that marries organic forms with a vibrant, contrasting palette.
