This mixed media composition represents the enraged dragon as well as the turbulent state of the human mind, when it is at the peak of its ferocity. When in rage, the dragon fills its belly with smouldering embers, depicted by the luminous hues of yellow and red of its abdominal muscles. As the frenzy builds up, the fuming embers ascend the gut and illuminate the gullet of the ferocious creature. The storm continues to build inside, until it cannot be held back anymore by the dragon (in other words, the human mind), and inevitably explodes like a volcanic eruption. This wrath is depicted in the form of molten flames emerging from the dragon's mouth. The process for this involved melting wax crayons over the canvas in a gradient from yellow to red.
