Untitled 5 (Wheel of Dharma)

This circular relief, poised between wheel and mandala, turns ornament into a meditation on order—its spokes radiating from a quiet central void that feels less like absence than a deliberate still point. The warm, carved stone surface carries a tactile history, while the cobalt and crimson inlays punctuate the geometry like ceremonial banners, animating the structure with a pulse of movement and rite. Encircling motifs read as a protective band, suggesting time’s cycle and cultural memory held in rotation, where craft becomes cosmology and the eye is guided outward only to return again to the center.
