Even though the colors should make this artwork ominous, the uniformity of the black swirls and lack of any obvious danger present something that is superficially non-threatening. There is something of an odd calm quality, despite the obvious turbulence. But why is the orange/red globe emitting twisted black rays? ... maybe it isn't and maybe things are not as benign as they first appear.
Contemplation will reveal the rays are not emanating from the globe, but rather that the globe is hiding the twisted and hideous inception of it's spreading wrath. For if the black rays are the actual central character, the globe then becomes only a protrusion that covers the ominous birth occurring beneath. They have sprouted the orb to deceive viewers, hiding the ugliness that awaits them if they don't quickly turn away. The rays scour everything they touch, stripping them to bleached uniformity. When the rays reach the unseen surface of their world, they undoubtedly dissolve their land into bleak uniformity. It is because of this infecting darkness that this artwork should not be placed in a space for contemplation, it should only be seen in passing.
