2026 + Chemistry

There tends to be a lot of detail in my art especially with bigger pieces and when going through life it is common for people to look at the big picture of something and dismiss the details. What I want is for people to always see the details that make up the whole of an image and consider the different perspectives in which it can be viewed.
