Joy, 2024 Geometric Abstract on Glass · Museum Collection

Remember the first time you saw a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis? The way it sat there, wings still damp, colors so impossibly bright they seemed to have been borrowed from dreams? This is that moment, crystallized in light and line.

Every intersection sings a different note in the chord of becoming. The rainbow spectrum doesn't just decorate the pattern - it is the pattern, each hue representing another octave of possibility opening simultaneously. The mandala blooms outward in waves of complexity that somehow never feel overwhelming, only more and more generous.

You find yourself smiling without knowing why. Your shoulders drop. Something inside you that's been holding its breath for months finally exhales. The piece doesn't just show joy - it creates it, line by line, intersection by intersection, until you remember what it feels like to be amazed by the simple fact that you exist at all.

This is what happens when mathematics learns to dance.
