Vitthal (Oceanic Gaze)

Suspended above a quiet, lilac-tinted water, two mirrored fish flank a dark, womb-like vessel from which a radiant drop of light rises, as if consciousness itself were being born from depth. Concentric rings of watchful eyes orbit the central glow, transforming the background into a field of vigilance where intuition, memory, and omen circulate without rest. The composition’s symmetry feels devotional rather than decorative—an altar of balance—while the soft washes and stippled texture temper the uncanny imagery with tenderness, suggesting that insight is both a gift and a gaze that cannot be unreturned.
