Untitled 102 (Tea Time Meditation)

This work stages a quiet dialogue between the sacred and the quotidian: a meditative figure hovers like an inner icon while the richly patterned cup, heavy with dark tea, anchors the scene in bodily ritual. Warm umbers and diluted washes bloom across open white space, allowing memory and presence to coexist—one part stain, one part silence—while dotted textures and stitched-like contours suggest thoughts being patiently counted, mended, and contained. The teabag label and scattered leaves act as humble evidence of time passing, turning the simple act of brewing into a ceremony where contemplation steepens alongside taste.
