About this work

This drawing shows two parts stacked together. The top half is a white, detailed floor plan of a building with many small rooms and hallways. The bottom half is a dark blue field with scattered yellow-green marks that look like tiny explosions or brushstrokes. The floor plan sits above a chaotic, almost starry night sky effect. The contrast between the orderly building and the messy, glowing marks creates a weird mix. If you like this, check out cross-hatching next.
