Iqra (Chronicles of Mind and Cosmos)

This surreal tableau stages knowledge as a drifting, unstable ecology: a rocky aperture and scattering organic fragments open into a sky where compass, atom, and orbiting symbols collide, as if orientation itself were being rewritten. Cool cerulean space is punctured by warm ochres and fleshy tones, creating a tense dialogue between the clinical clarity of science and the intimate vulnerability of the body—heart, brain, and bone rendered like relics of thought. The open book becomes a threshold rather than an answer, its pages receiving a planet’s weight and a spill of signs, suggesting that learning is not accumulation but metamorphosis. Across the composition, floating forms and skewed scale produce a dream-logic in which discovery feels both luminous and unsettling, a meditation on how the mind maps the unknown.
