Meditation 187 (Cosmic Harmony)

This composition reads like a contemporary mandala built from measured geometry and weathered surface—an ember-toned field of squares and triangles that both contains and agitates the eye. Concentric rings radiate from a dense, dark nucleus, suggesting an inner gravity where memory, heat, and attention condense, while thin arcs and diagonals behave like mapped trajectories, quietly implying time, orbit, and return. The burnished reds and ochres carry a ritual warmth, yet the textured abrasions and sediment-like markings introduce fragility, as if the work records not a single moment but the accumulated trace of many. In this tension between precision and erosion, the painting becomes a meditation on order as something lived—constructed, challenged, and continually re-centered.
