A cool, teal star asserts itself at the center like a quiet compass, its crisp geometry softened by thick, ridged impasto that turns flat shape into tactile terrain. Around it, diagonals of violet and small, ember-red wedges create a pulsing perimeter—tension and warmth pressing in against the star’s poised equilibrium—so the composition reads as both shield and aperture. Light catches on the grooved strokes, making the surface shimmer with a slow, meditative rhythm, as if the work is less about pattern than about the disciplined gathering of energies into a single, steady form. In this meeting of symmetry and abrasion, the piece suggests resilience: harmony not as smooth perfection, but as order forged through friction.
