The work is created by lines which rise and move in space to create a mysterious elongated form of an angel, surrounded by colourful shapes which rise up towards the angel and fall down on the right side, creating a movement similar to the rhythm of breathing. The canvas breathes through these colourful shapes. The angel plays with balloon-like shapes connected with threads, which create linear movement. Boats converge to witness this divine act of play in space. One figure on the lower left side of the canvas becomes the mute spectator to the "play" happening in space. The feet of the angel are abstracted shapes which appear to be moving on the right side. The transparent silver wings add to the mysterious form of the angel. The face of the angel appears to be in a meditative state, eyes closed, singing a silent song within. Shapes connect together and create movement and rhythm, animating the space into a visual melody. Silver shines forth as a mystical light and muted tones of gold, yellow, blue, pink, and green add to the joyful play happening in space.
