Bhumija (Cosmic Tree)

Centered within a mandala-like ring, the tree rises as a quiet axis of remembrance, its canopy rendered in clustered, jewel-toned leaves that feel at once botanical and ceremonial—like offerings laid upon a living altar. The composition stages a tension between sanctuary and exposure: a pale, luminous void behind the trunk opens a meditative silence, while the surrounding crimson and ochre bands pulse with patterned insistence, suggesting cycles, seasons, and the measured beats of ritual time. Floral motifs in the outer field soften the geometry, creating a protective atmosphere where nature is not merely depicted but enthroned, as if the painting asks us to witness growth as a sacred continuity rather than a simple landscape.
