Meditation 96 (Trishul with Indian Symbols)

A radiant mandala of concentric gold rings anchors the composition like a cosmological sun, its measured geometry holding the surrounding darkness in calm suspension. From this luminous core descends a triangular veil of silvery texture, suggesting a ritualized descent of insight—part temple architecture, part beam of revelation—culminating in a trident-like emblem whose red nucleus reads as both heartbeat and sacred seed. The upper frieze of small symbolic panels—leaf, vessel, animal—introduces the language of myth and daily offering, implying that the divine is assembled from ordinary signs. Overall, the work oscillates between ornament and invocation, proposing a map where spiritual order is not distant, but structurally woven into matter.
