Night Transitions
1985

This is an abstract artwork featuring vertical strips that create a fragmented view of underlying images. The strips reveal parts of a photograph with purple flowers, hints of green foliage, and a section of a human figure. The background has dark tones with splashes of red and green. The artwork has a textured, layered appearance, and there's a signature at the bottom right corner with the year 1995, along with text "Night Flowers" on the bottom left.
