The painting shows layered geometric shapes in a three-dimensional arrangement. It's made up of bold shapes. The movement of light is key to this work, as it's both the means of expression and the subject. This abstract composition is unique because it was made exclusively with a camera. The artist used light to create the image. To learn more about similar uses of light, look up the technique: chiaroscuro.
