Cityscape 31 (A World Within)

A vast tapestry of ochre and gold tesserae swells across the surface like a living field, its repeated marks evoking the pulse of a city, a ritual, or history recorded in countless small gestures. Anchored by a dark, lattice-like band, a procession of simplified figures rises in warm reds and cool blues—individuality preserved yet subsumed into a shared current, as if community itself were the work’s true subject. The circular orbs hovering above and below read as moons, drums, or watchful eyes, punctuating the rhythm and lending the scene a ceremonial gravity where celebration and endurance become indistinguishable.
