My most challenging and comprehensive piece, yet. All together taking ~5 months. Originally created in a white void to join my celestial series, I opted to add the desert landscape to pair with my Sands of Time piece.

Fall of the 5 depicts the 5 Chinese elements: Earth, Tree, Water, Fire, and Metal (gold) falling toward an element-less desert. Each elements is destructively interacting with another.

• Tree (grass) broke earth (rock) which is depicted through the tuft and crack

• Rock hit water, observed through the droplet and waves created

• One can assume the tsunami of water may extinguish fire

• Fire is melting metal
