Untitled 78 (The Dance of Shiva)

A reclining, lightly sketched figure drifts through an expanse of white, their body rendered with intimate immediacy while a constellation of circular, mandala-like forms pulses nearby in stark black. The composition stages a quiet dialogue between flesh and geometry: the organic line yields to repeated triangular lattices that feel like diagrams of perception—systems that measure, contain, and yet never fully hold lived experience. Negative space becomes a charged silence, amplifying the tension between vulnerability and structure, as if the subject is simultaneously observed and self-authoring within a field of symbols. The work reads as a meditation on how identity is negotiated between interior sensation and the external grids we inherit, resist, or momentarily inhabit.
