Additional Information

A bright, multi-colored abstract landscape with small squares and circles that make up the scene, representing a sundog with rays shining out of it.

The artist explained the meaning of the work writing, ”The squares of color are all the people helping others and pushing back against negative energy, they create a sundog in the middle which is part of the marked unmarked series.”
