This is an image about no thing, in the sense that it deliberately has no recognisable subject, so ostensibly is entirely about itself.
So, it’s a thing, not an illusion of some thing.
It is though, concerned with colour, shape, pictorial space, surface texture, a physical hint of the third dimension, line, and the pictorial dynamics that arise from arranging these in a way that may appear to be random, but most definitely is extremely considered.
When one makes a figurative image, usually all the information required is in front of you, or in a mental recollection or a memory or in a physical or digital reference of some kind, but true abstraction requires all the information to come from within, beginning with no thing.
So, Spacetime is self-referential.
It is an entity in its own right, not a constructed allusion to some thing.
