Untitled 7 (Cosmic Serpent)

Centered like a shrine-image, the serpentine cobra rises into a radiant halo, its flared hood treated as both crown and mandala—an emblem of guarded power held in ceremonious stillness. Warm oranges and ochres press forward with desert-like heat, while the violet field behind cools the atmosphere into reverence, setting up a tense harmony between danger and protection. Repeating borders, hanging lantern forms, and rhythmic, mask-like figures below turn the scene into a procession of signs, suggesting a folk cosmology where the sacred is not distant but patterned into daily ritual. The work’s flattened space and bold geometry read as a visual chant, binding myth, community, and the awe of nature into a single, luminous icon.
