Tattvamasi 7

This work stages a quiet cosmology within a single, commanding circle—an eye, a sun, and a vortex at once—where a dense, earthen core is held in suspense by radiating filaments that feel both organic and tidal. The cool turquoise striations, etched like growth rings or coral veins, press outward against a warm oxidized ground, creating a palpable tension between containment and expansion, intimacy and immensity. Light seems to skim the ridges, turning texture into a kind of timekeeping, as if the surface records pulses of memory and erosion. In its unwavering symmetry, the piece suggests perception as a ritual: the viewer is drawn inward to the center only to be returned, repeatedly, to the surrounding field of trembling energy.
