This piece captures the quiet tension of solitude and movement engulfed with moody tones, layered textures, and an almost dreamlike composition. Additionally, his style leans more into the abstract, more specifically the reflective, because of the genuine visual reflections seen off of the piece. Viewers are able to see themselves in the galaxy. With mystery looming over this piece, the viewer is invited to slow down and drift right along with it, contemplating their place in the world and the greater universe.
