This kinetic color abstraction demonstrates the optical interplay of vertical lines and chromatic vibration characteristic of the artist's chromointerference technique. Composed of aluminum framing and elastic cord, the work creates a dynamic visual experience where colors appear to shift and interact across the surface. The systematic arrangement of warm and cool tones generates spatial depth and movement, inviting viewers to observe how perception changes with viewing angle and distance. The piece exemplifies investigations into color theory and the immaterial qualities of light through material means.
