This painting caught my attention in how it looked like a giant mesh of colorful strings, all strung together to make some a web and cocoon like space. In order to make sense of this painting, I first focused on the different components of the painting. For one, there are 8 different colors in this painting as far as I can see. There is white, light-blue, grey, yellow, teal, brown, black, and red. Each color seems to have a different purpose and there are different layers of colors too. The color red is the very first layer, above all the other colors. Then, comes the color yellow. Next, the black and grey layers seem to interleave with one another but both stay above the remaining layers. We then have another interleaved layer in the form of light-blue and teal. Finally, the white layer, followed by the brown layer at the very bottom. 

It seems quite clear that the brown color has been used to signify space. It was mostly used to color the boundaries of the painting and also a small brown blob in the center seems to function as a nucleus, with the other colors flowing around it. The white color is what gives this painting a web-life appearance. It permeates the entire center of the painting and forms the base of this painting. I feel like this might signify a clean slate that has been marked with various flow patterns from the other colors. The other colors all streak across the white web, in different thickness and clumps. The black is the thickest, which makes sense as it is the opposite of white, and seems to be destroying its base. I started to wonder if the different colors represent different types of events, and the emotions that surround such events. This painting was made the in the aftermath of WWII after all, so that definitely had an impact on this painting. Perhaps the black symbolizes the painful memories, while the thinner, lighter colors like yellow and red signify newer, happier memories. As such, the layers could have a deeper meaning of time. 

Another interesting point is that different colors are more prominent depending on their distance from the boundaries of the painting. The teal and silver colors are more common towards the edges while yellow and red are more prominent towards the center. Perhaps this distance represents the proximity of those events to the artist's life, to the center of his world, represented by the brown nucleus in the center. The color grey has streaks throughout the painting, literally making them events representative of grey areas. Events where it is hard to judge wrong or right. 

The concept of flow is interesting in this painting too as centrifugal force seems to be a pivotal point to this painting. When looking at it from a distance, I was struck by how you could make out a whirlpool like flow in the painting. However, the flow isn't always continuous; it is broken apart at times and joined up together again at times. The black streaks especially break the flow more while the lighter streaks start the flow more often. The flow itself could be representative of the flow of events.
