Ember and Emerald, Flowing Abstract in Red and Green

A horizontal abstract made of glossy, swirling ribbons of red, orange, yellow and green, with streaks of blue and purple along the edges. The colors flow and fold into one another in wavy, flame-like and leaf-like shapes. A few small pale yellow forms, such as a star-like shape at left, appear among the swirls.

A stranger scrolling past is stopped by fire-coloured ribbons of red and orange set against emerald green and electric blue. The surface looks glossy and liquid. The shapes hint at flames, feathers and leaves but never settle into any of them, so the eye keeps moving. Someone with a plain, settled room and one bare wall gets a strong colour hit from a single horizontal image. They can also read it as warm or cool depending on where they look.
