Meditation 5 (Sun Salutation)

Set within the raw circumference of a wood-slice, a seated figure in prayerful silhouette becomes both icon and imprint, as if meditation were etched into the very grain of time. The incandescent orange field reads like a setting sun or inner hearth, pressing warmth against the cool, inked blues that pool at the base—an elemental dialogue between fire and water, agitation and calm. Subtle drips and distressed textures interrupt the stillness, suggesting that serenity is not a polished destination but a practice carved through weathering, memory, and return. The faint botanical form hovering beside the body acts as a quiet witness—nature’s breath—framing the figure’s inward ascent as a communion rather than an escape.
