Meditation 97 (Red Abstract with Geometric Border)

A field of incandescent red holds the eye like heat held in a kiln, its surface stippled and scored as if memory has been pressed into pigment. Concentric rings radiate from a single dark core, transforming the canvas into a quiet cosmology—an orbit of longing where light and gravity negotiate the same space. Along the left margin, a totemic column of triangles and angled forms reads like an encoded cadence, grounding the otherwise expansive vortex with human-made signs that suggest ritual, direction, and choice. The work oscillates between eruption and meditation, inviting the viewer to feel both the pulse of creation and the discipline that contains it.
