Meditation 72 (Ascending Forms)

A saturated red field, embossed with faint relic-like traces, frames a vertical corridor where stacked chevrons rise like architectural rafters, turning the composition into a procession of thresholds. The palette moves from scorched umber into ash-gray and milky whites, as if heat and erosion have been arrested mid-transformation, with speckled textures reading like weather, dust, or memory settling on the surface. At the base, the triangular “altar” holding a single dark, eye-like disc becomes both anchor and witness—an austere emblem of attention—so the entire work feels like an ascent from the body’s raw urgency toward a quieter, scrutinizing interior clarity.
