Think About Why

$1,500.00

"Think About Why" is a contemplative piece that invites viewers to delve into the underlying motivations and reasons behind actions and beliefs. The deep greens, and golds, combined with iridescent colors on black paper, create a visually striking and mysterious composition. The dark backdrop sets a somber and introspective tone, while the greens suggest growth, nature, or perhaps even envy or unease. The gold adds a touch of richness and value, possibly representing wisdom, enlightenment, or the preciousness of understanding. The iridescent colors introduce an element of the unexpected and the multifaceted, hinting at the complex layers of thought and emotion that drive human behavior.

The title, "Think About Why," directly prompts introspection and critical thinking. The interplay of dark and luminous colors, along with the textural contrast of the black paper and the shimmering iridescence, creates a sense of depth and complexity, mirroring the intricacies of human reasoning. The artwork encourages viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider the deeper "why" behind things, prompting a journey of self-discovery and a deeper understanding of the world around them. "Think About Why" becomes a visual call to contemplation, urging us to question, analyze, and ultimately understand the motivations that shape our lives and the lives of others.
