Bursting with joy and color, small rectangular brushstrokes in yellow and red cover the canvas, floating on top of a swirling background in blues and greens. Squiggles in red that call to mind cursive handwriting sit on top of all of it. It suggests fireworks, the cosmos and the string theory in physics that inspired the artist.
