Remembrance Of Nostalgia (Golden Shield)

This circular composition reads like an archaeological lens: a burnished ochre field, netted with a precise grid of punctured marks, holds time in suspension while refusing a single narrative. At its core, a dark, spined orb—part relic, part organism—floats with quiet authority, its dense reds and blacks absorbing light as if safeguarding an inner pulse. The surrounding patina and crackled ring suggest weathering and ritual, turning the painting into a meditation on protection, surveillance, and the way memory becomes coded into surface.
