This work contains some circles overlapping each other and others floating within this dark, moody composition. Some viewers may contemplate the underlying tensions that exist between the images throughout the composition. Other viewers may take a more light-hearted approach to the work and observe the bubble-like images that remind them of childhood summer days spent blowing bubbles.
