Meditation 181 (Lotus of Enlightenment)

Concentric rings radiate from a lotus-like core, turning the canvas into a quiet instrument of focus where geometry feels devotional rather than merely precise. The muted greys and soft mineral blues behave like sedimented time, while the warm, gilded center reads as a pulse—an inner sanctuary held steady amid layered, almost cartographic fragments. Subtle diagonals and barely-there symbols disrupt perfect symmetry, suggesting that clarity is not a fixed state but a negotiated alignment of memory, space, and breath. The work ultimately stages a journey inward: from worldly texture at the periphery toward a concentrated, luminous stillness.
