# The Dance of Time Diptych

The Dance of Time arrives as a diptych - and the format is everything. Two canvases, each with their own energy, yet inseparable from each other. The deep cobalt blue anchors the composition like a fixed point in time, while everything around it - the golden trails, the red bursts, the graphite spirals and black cascades - moves with complete freedom. It has the feel of a performance still in progress, caught somewhere between structure and improvisation. At 48 by 60 inches in acrylic, oil and graphite on raw canvas, the scale gives the composition room to breathe - and you feel every inch of it.
