This piece combines bright colors with shades of darker values to create a compelling contrast of darkness and light, fear and beauty. It seems to contain nearly every shade between the yellow and the black. This piece was chosen to be part of this gallery because it exemplifies the beautiful side of fear and how even the disturbing can be alluring.
