Towering and surreal, Balls of Steel captures the strange elegance of the spherical gas tanks used to store the lightest, most volatile byproducts of the refining process. Set against the unforgiving sprawl of Torrance, these buttercream giants radiate quiet menace—smooth, sealed, serenely explosive. They sit like relics of another planet, mysterious and mute, holding pressure and danger beneath their calm skin. This painting isn't just industrial—it’s a monument to the alien beauty hidden in plain sight and utterly inhospitable to human life.
