Contrast Meditation (Concentric Radiance)

This circular composition stages a hypnotic encounter between order and vertigo, where concentric bands and arrow-like chevrons pull the eye toward a tight, insistent center as if gravity were visual rather than physical. Saturated reds and cool blues collide in rhythmic alternation, producing a vibrating optical pulse that feels both celebratory and slightly disorienting, like a controlled fever of color. The precise symmetry suggests a mandala or instrument dial—an emblem of measured time and inner focus—yet the restless striping refuses stillness, turning contemplation into motion. In that tension, the work reads as a meditation on modern perception: how repetition can soothe, and how it can also overwhelm.
