Meditation 4 (Blooming Within)

Painted within a circular boundary like a small, self-contained cosmos, the figure rises in a single, continuous gesture—arms lifted as if balancing sky and memory—while ribbons of blue and red orbit the body as living currents. The dense green field reads as both forest and inner landscape, its quiet weight punctuated by curling motifs that suggest breath, wind, or the slow churn of thought. A stark white contour slices through darker passages, turning the body into a threshold where opposites meet: night and flame, stillness and dance, concealment and revelation. The rough edge of the wood-like rim lends the image a ritual intimacy, as though this is a talisman of endurance—an emblem of longing made steady by form.
