This is an allegorical depiction of spiritual growth. Dominating the composition is an amorphous torso that rises from dark watery depths. The shape is surrounded by ripples that extend outward which merges with the sky above. The torso is being transformed into a different structure alluding to architectural forms. In the center we see a portal that exposes a dark chamber from which a flame is seen rising upwards towards the heavens.

The theme for most of my drawings revolves around the idea that even though the natural world creates dynamic and fluid forms that seem random and chaotic, they are actually governed by strict mathematical principles.

I Attended CSULB in the 1980's majoring in Graphic Design. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was not able to finish my studies. However, in later years I completed my Bachelors of Science in Information Systems. In my early days at studying art, I delighted in the study of the fascinating works of Albert Durer, Hieronymus Bosch,  and M.C. Escher. Their style and talent captivated my imagination.
