S 08 (Ascending Forms)

A quilted lattice of ochres, vermilions, and sun-warmed oranges pulses across the surface, its disciplined geometry repeatedly pierced by a central, totemic void of blacks and chalky whites. The triangular tessellations behave like fractured light—flickering between order and rupture—so that the eye is drawn upward and downward along a vertical axis that reads as both pathway and scar. Beneath the confident patterning, ghosted fragments and worn textures suggest memory trapped in the weave, as if an urban palimpsest has been compressed into a ritual emblem. The work ultimately holds a poised tension: a celebratory mosaic of heat and rhythm that also intimates instability, concealment, and the persistence of what cannot be fully harmonized.
