The Fall from Control

The concept behind this painting was to show a continuation of the transition of structure to unstructured. There are many ways to look and see this concept. One way of viewing is by the unstructured is represented by the nature, and the structured is represented by the bold, perfectly white frame. Another side is by viewing the city life on the left side of the painting, which can also represent structure, and on the opposite side there is a dessert which is uninhabited by man. The city is the man’s control over nature and the desert is the man’s inability to control nature. The middle is where the control is falling. This is where the title comes from, “The Fall from Control.”
