The Tragedy of Itself is a long, rectangular painting that exudes a sense of introspection and inner turmoil.

At its center lies a powerful vortex, painted in intense, fiery orange hues that convey a deep, almost explosive energy.

This vibrant swirl is surrounded by a stark background of gray and black, enhancing the contrast and drawing the eye to the core of the piece. The dark tones encircling the orange vortex create a feeling of isolation, as though the central force is suspended within a void. The swirling form suggests a cycle of self-reflection, embodying the existential struggle and the weight of personal tragedy. The painting captures the essence of an inner world caught in perpetual motion, where chaos and stillness coexist in a complex dance.
