Golden Totem, Mirrored Zigzag Abstract

A mirrored abstract pattern of thick black zigzag lines that loop and cross over a warm field of yellow, gold and orange. Solid dark brown wedges fill a few of the overlaps down the center. Faint, soft heart-like and rounded shapes repeat in the background color.

A stranger is stopped by the heat of it: a glowing yellow and gold field with one heavy black ribbon zigzagging down the middle like a stacked totem. The mirrored symmetry makes it feel ordered and confident, while the soft, mottled color keeps it from feeling cold or corporate. Many yellow abstracts are loose washes, and many black-line pieces are stark and monochrome. This one has both the warm, backlit glow and a crisp graphic structure. It suits someone who wants a bold, warm, orderly piece for one specific wall.
