Shanes poignantly invites us to meditate on the cost of artistic brilliance.
 
"Incident at Arles" is a haunting tribute to Vincent van Gogh, capturing the fragile boundary between creation and chaos. On the left, a sunlit room brims with life—Van Gogh’s bed, canvases, a fallen brush, and a small painting decorate the artists abode.
 
The right fractures into an electrified haze, where Van Gogh unravels into pulsating violet currents, mid-anguish, severing his ear. The scene dissolves into fevered energy, the furniture flickering, half-formed. Shanes masterfully juxtaposes the tangible and the ethereal, exploring the boundary between genius and madness.
