Image description: On two canvases, white, grey, black, and brown acrylic paint swirl and stream together like a large monsoon. Warmer brown spaces act as moments of calm and stability. The eye of the storm overlaps both canvases on the bottom right of center within the composition. On the smaller canvas to the right, the streams of paint undulate out of harmony with the rest of the piece as the energy of the storm that cannot be contained seek an outlet.
