This painting was a commissioned piece and the interest was an Egyptian theme.
By incorporating the Egyptian Pharaoh's headdress and his pyramid into a repetition of abstracted shapes, I created a pattern of movement which appears to be circular, like a whirlwind.
To add additional interest, I allowed the pattern to spill out into the border of the painting.

The name of the painting came from the scripture in Ecclesiastes 4:4.
"And I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is {the result of} rivalry between a man and his neighbor. This too is vanity and
STRIVING AFTER WIND." (NAS)
