Meditation 247 (Cosmic Lotus)

Encased within a dense, earthen-red mosaic of archetypal signs, the central panel reads like a small altar—part map, part meditation—where geometry becomes a language of ascent and return. Concentric rings pull the eye inward toward a dark, gravitational core, while above them layered chevrons suggest strata, mountains, or folded time, holding the tension between material weight and luminous release. At the base, a lotus unfurls as a quiet counterpoint, proposing that clarity is not an escape from the world’s heat but a flowering within it, turning the surrounding symbols into guardians of an interior pilgrimage.
