unraveled time

generative art.

this artwork translates the experience of anxiety into a visual rhythm, drawing from Roman Opalka’s progressive enumeration but replacing numbers with colors. each hue marks the passage of time—an accumulation, a progression, a confrontation with the self.
as the canvas fills, the sequence unfolds in a meticulous yet unsteady flow, mirroring the tension between control and overwhelm.

each color choice is deliberate, yet the process remains unpredictable. anxiety, like this chromatic progression, is both structured and chaotic: a repetition that reassures but also confines, a discipline that borders on obsession.
the piece embodies the relentlessness of an anxious mind—constantly tracking, measuring, anticipating, unable to escape the weight of its own momentum.

as the colors multiply, they form a landscape of intensities, a field of emotional resonance. the act of painting becomes both ritual and release, an attempt to externalize the intangible, to give anxiety a tangible form. the result is a visual pulse, a sensory imprint of inner turbulence made visible.
