This 7"x10" colored pencil drawing on archival paper features a central swirl of overlapping colors, dominated by blue, pink, green, and purple tones. The strokes are layered densely, yet there is a sense of motion, as though the colors are swirling inward toward a central point. Blue occupies the majority of the lower and left sections of the drawing, blending into the green and purple, while pinks rise toward the top, adding a lighter, more ethereal feel to the piece.

The composition is both fluid and frenetic, with the layering of colors creating a sense of depth, as if the viewer is looking into a vortex of hues. The perforated edge on the right adds a rawness to the work, reminding the viewer of the process-driven nature of the piece. The combination of cooler and warmer tones creates a dynamic tension, with the blue and green anchoring the composition, while the pink and purple provide a sense of energy and movement. The use of colored pencils gives the lines a textured, almost tactile quality, adding to the visceral nature of the drawing.
