Composition finalized after separating eight layers to be laid and dried. Each layer unique in its own form; but when merged it creates a unique depth in space and time. Emergence toys with color theory through its beginning of primary colors in dark hues receding while maintaining an inviting and playful foreground. The collisions of all layers at once allows its audience to fall into the painting and its different layers through color selection and linear balance.
