Tibetan Mandala (Cosmic Balance)

Two suspended discs read like paired cosmologies—one a radiant mandala of vermilion, the other a muted, earth-stained moon—each inscribed with concentric bands of script that turn language into orbit. The composition hinges on a gentle diagonal tension, where the pristine, sunlike circle suggests clarity and invocation while the lower disc bears the sediment of time, as if devotion has passed through weather, smoke, and memory. Light pools on the gold grounds and catches the calligraphic rhythm, creating a sensation of soundless chanting that expands outward from the central emblems. Together they propose a cycle of ascent and return: spirit articulated as order, and spirit tested—yet still legible—within the beautiful abrasion of lived experience.
