Mandala 2 (The Cosmic Cat)

This work stages a solitary, bandage-like figure adrift in a field of engineered symbols, where circling mandala-forms, triangles, and mechanical fragments press in like a schematic of fate. The limited palette of soot-black and sulfurous yellow turns the paper into a charged atmosphere, suggesting both contamination and illumination, as if revelation arrives through abrasion. Compositionally, the body anchors the lower register while the dense, hovering geometry above functions as a surveillance canopy—an emblem of systems that measure, sort, and convert the human presence into pattern. What remains most poignant is the tension between the figure’s tactile vulnerability and the surrounding hard-edged language of signs, evoking a narrative of endurance inside an abstract machinery of meaning.
