Against pure white ground, a loose, radiant cluster of translucent geometric shards hovers weightlessly—like a gentle explosion of colored glass suspended mid-bloom.
Irregular polygons, triangles, and faceted fragments—mostly soft-edged and overlapping—fan outward asymmetrically from a glowing central nexus. The palette is delicate and luminous: pale sky blues, mint and lime greens, soft rose pinks, buttery yellows, peach oranges, and gentle lavenders layer transparently so that every intersection creates new blended hues—pink warming to coral beneath teal, lavender yielding aqua where it crosses mint, yellow deepening to apricot in deeper overlaps. Edges remain crisp yet softly diffused, giving the impression of light passing through multiple veils rather than solid planes.
The forms feel buoyant and expansive: denser, more saturated clustering at the heart generates subtle focal intensity, while larger, looser shards drift toward the edges, some pointed like arrows, others rounded or kite-like, trailing off into faint wisps that dissolve into the white field without abrupt ending.
The composition breathes openly—generous white space cradles every fragment, turning the modest panel into an airy, contemplative cosmos of near-weightless color.
Notice how the brightest layered overlaps at the core draw the eye inward to maximum chromatic glow, then gently release it along outward-drifting shards—creating a quiet rhythmic pulse between convergence and tender dispersal, gathering and letting go.
Part of the "Tychist Objects" series, this painting embraces tychism—Charles Sanders Peirce’s philosophy that genuine, objective chance is a fundamental creative force in the universe. Algorithmic random-number processes guided decisions in form, placement, orientation, and color relationships, yet each layer was hand-painted with deliberate sensitivity, merging mechanical indeterminacy with human exuberance. The result is a visual hymn to beauty born from true randomness: structured delirium that feels miraculously alive, a frozen shout of pure becoming.
How does this floating cloud of pastel facets—radiant at the heart, dissolving at the edges—stir your sense of weightless joy, luminous impermanence, or the gentle poetry of color and shape blooming from nothing into soft, breathing harmony?
