The artwork is a 20'x 8' mural consisting of 5 panels of wood, painted with acrylic. Circular motives razor cut from acrylite sheet were layered in different sizes and colors up to 5 sheets deep to create a relief form. These circular motives are emerging from the right side column. Some are flying up, some are going to left side of the column and kissing, some are chatting to one another and some just stand. The smaller sized circular motives are generally lower and the larger sized ones are farther up, as larger chunks tend to be on the top in cereal boxes and cans of nuts. Heavy colors are often over the light colors in order to create tension. The artwork stimulates the imagination and evokes a response of joy and creativity, serenity and amity.
