Meditation 203 (The Eye of Creation)

This work stages a quiet cosmology: concentric rings ripple outward from a dark, pupil-like core, as if perception itself were the origin point from which time and matter unfurl. The burnished gold center holds a bruised radiance—tactile, wrinkled, almost archaeological—while the surrounding speckled strata read like sedimentary records, mapping accumulation, erosion, and return. Against the enveloping black, the orbiting whites and umbers become both protective boundary and atmospheric haze, suggesting a meditation on inner light that must pass through layers of experience before it can be seen. Along the lower band, geometric fragments and softened motifs temper the vastness with human measure, hinting at how ritual, pattern, and memory domesticate the infinite.
