"This artwork comprises 200-square-feet of unglazed, fully vitrified clay tiles in rich, earthy tones. Although the imagery is abstract, it conveys a strong sense of movement and liveliness as visible in the right side of the mural which contains a concentration of orange and yellow tiles presented in a bold spiral with rays extending around it. Feindel wanted to express human and natural creativity and how they are intimately connected. There is a sense of both conflict and harmony in the work, seen through the disparity between the hectic lines of the composition which are executed in a soothing, earthy palette. The piece strongly suggests energy and movement, causing the viewer’s eye to wander around the entire work. The perceptive viewer will notice the artist’s signature in dark coloured tiles integrated into the composition and located in the bottom right hand corner".
