At the center of the composition, a black cloud merges with the surrounding clouds, subtly hinting at the presence of change. This enigmatic element serves as a reminder that transformation is an inherent part of our journey. It encourages us to embrace the shifting tides of life, finding strength and growth in the face of adversity.
Words play a significant role in the composition. The word "GOD" stands prominently at the top, inviting introspection on our place in the grand tapestry of existence. On the left, the word "LEFT" is crossed out, while on the right, "RIGHT" bears a white cross, symbolizing the fluidity of choices and the uncertainty of predetermined paths. These markings urge us to navigate the tumultuous terrain of life with open minds and adaptability.
In "Avalanche"  the artist's skilled use of charcoal, the contrasting elements of the artwork come to life, compelling viewers to contemplate the unpredictable nature of change and the transformative potential it holds.

"In the ethereal dance orchestrated by gravity's gentle hand, the ice, a paradox in form and essence, reveals its secrets. Behaving as both solid and a viscous fluid, it unveils an intimate choreography of internal deformation, shaped by the weight of the world it carries and the caress of pressure. The glacier, a titan adorned in crystalline hues, glides across the ancient bedrock, urged by whispers of meltwater that temper friction. As the glacier whispers its slow, imperceptible ballet, centimeters marking its passage through time, it holds within it a tale of alchemical erosion. Rock and sediment become its companions, carried in a stately waltz that sculpts valleys, fjords, and celestial cirques. It is an artist of erosion, etching the landscape in its cool, aqueous brushstrokes.

Yet, in this intricate waltz, there lies an elegiac note—a somber melody composed by climate's unseen hand. In the face of warming winds and altered tears from the heavens, glaciers delicately weep, their crystalline forms yielding to the inevitability of retreat. The chemistry of their tears, a lamentation for a changing world.

In the depths of this glacial reverie, my charcoal drawings find their muse—an exploration of contrasts, a dance between solidity and fluidity, as shades of darkness etch a narrative of transformation. The lines, akin to the glacier's journey, leave an indelible mark on the canvas, a poetic echo of a world in motion, a tribute to the alchemy of nature's sorrow and resilience."
