A raised black fist emerges from a field of grayscale hands. Above it, the word LIFE stands alone—bold, unqualified, elemental. This is not a depiction of existence. It’s a declaration of force. The canvas doesn’t describe vitality—it asserts it.

Within the emotional architecture of The Triumph of Romanticism, LIFE is one of six foundational declarations. Each canvas holds equal weight, forming a system of human intensity. LIFE anchors that system—not as origin or conclusion, but as presence. It is the refusal to vanish, the insistence on being counted.

Color here is structural. The black fist is one of six, chosen to complete the chromatic field. The gesture is constant. The word is the charge.
