"Singular" is an abstract painting that consists of a complex array of colors and textures from the combination of of papers collaged on wood panel. The panel is divided into sections with different dominant colors, including maroon, yellow, blue, and white. Each section contains various hues and shades, creating a layered and textured visual effect.
 
The left section of the painting has a deep maroon background overlaid with yellow and cream streaks. Moving towards the center, vertical bands in pale yellow and off-white cut across the panel. Further to the right, there is a textural contrast with a gritty blue area that transitions into a lighter blue with spontaneous yellow scribbles. The far right is dominated by a softer blue and white patchwork.
 
The overlapping of colors and the dynamic, scribble-like lines suggest movement and energy. The painting embodies abstract expressionism, wherein the focus is on spontaneous or subconscious creation. Overall, the artwork communicates through its varied composition, colors, and tactile surfaces, inviting the viewer to interpret the piece personally.
