The dark tones—blacks, deep grays, and reddish-blacks—of the engraving are very sharp here. The lines appear nervous and jagged, creating an almost electric dynamism. The forms do not float; they burst forth.
The monotype work in the background creates a thermal shock effect. The orange gradients give the impression that light is emanating from the center of the composition, like a still-glowing ember.
The curves tighten in places to form knots of tension, giving the whole a sense of movement that is both fluid and untameable.
