Alteronce Gumby's *Zinnia* (2019) is a vibrant exploration of color and light, combining tempered glass and acrylic on wood to create a luminous, jewel-like surface. The work evokes the layered, radiant petals of its floral namesake through dynamic arrangements of hue and translucency. Gumby's signature use of glass fragments allows light to interact with the composition in constantly shifting ways, blurring the boundary between painting and sculpture.
