Upward Mobility is a symbolic journey where the spiral’s bold, fluid curves symbolize growth, evolution, and the interconnected cycles of life, guiding the viewer’s eye from the bottom left to the top right corner in a narrative of progress and transformation.

The spiral is rendered as origami, with delicate folds and creases that catch and reflect light, adding a three-dimensional texture to the painting. This detail bridges the abstract symbolism with tangible realism, culminating in the paper’s fan-shaped “blossom” at the spiral’s peak. The vivid contrast of the radiant yellow against rich navy creates a mesmerizing depth and symbolizes how the journey culminates at a larger-than-life pinnacle.
