This work stages a quiet cosmology of order and pulse: a circle quartered like a compass rose, its radiating incisions fanning outward until geometry becomes sensation. Burnt reds and earthen ochres hold the surface in a ritual warmth, while cooler blues at the margins suggest distance—sky, water, or memory—pressing against the contained center. The tactile grooves act like counted breaths, turning symmetry into labor and time, so the image reads as both a map of orientation and a meditation on cycles—returning, dividing, and reuniting.
