Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This vibrant contemporary artwork features a bold, fiery explosion against a striking green backdrop, creating a visually striking and dynamic composition. The prominent neon "OPTICS" text overlaying the scene suggests a focus on the optical properties and illusory nature of the explosion.
