This particular work is part of Leonardo Solaas’s coding experiment called Walking in Color Space. He wanted to generate art that made color seem explosive and omnipresent. Therefore, the artist took sample pictures, in this case, the Powerpuff girls, and extracted the colors. He then took those colors and projected them in a 3-D manner by adjusting and specifying the direction of the colors to create these trajectories that you see in the picture. In addition to the various translations of the image, Solaas introduced contrasting colors in the multiple trajectories to make the color variations stand out and more visible.

I was intrigued by this work because the artist utilized an already existing image and made it his own simply by taking the colors and directing the lines in a 3-D setting.
