Direction over Darkness (Original)

Direction over Darkness features a light and dark spiral in the center of the canvas, set against a purple background. The spiral appears to be three-dimensional and hovering slightly above the background. The blue and green colors are bright and saturated, while the purple background is a cooler and more calming color. The overall impression is one of movement and energy, with the spiral seeming to pulsate and swirl. The title of the painting suggests that the artist is depicting a state of happiness that is both intense and fleeting, like a hallucination.
