More about Staring at the Sun

This surreal, predominantly black-and-white digital artwork features a young man seen from behind in the lower right foreground, wearing a white t-shirt covered in swirling, hypnotic black concentric patterns as he shields his eyes with his left hand and gazes upward toward a brilliant burst of light. The glowing white orb sits slightly above center and radiates eight sharp, vibrant rainbow-colored rays that provide the only prominent splash of color in the composition. Surrounding this radiant light, the entire background is filled with tightly packed, hypnotic black-and-white concentric circles that ripple outward across the frame above a solid black horizontal band at the very bottom. Framing the left edge is a sleek, metallic, liquid-chrome tree trunk that branches near the top and reflects warped, glossy distortions along with faint hints of iridescent color
