Leh Ladakh 1 (Layers of Time)

A dense, tactile mound rises from a cool, misted ground, its crust of gold and ash-gray catching light like a memory resurfacing through sediment. Horizontal striations read as a sealed threshold—half window, half barricade—suggesting the quiet tension between revelation and restraint. The lower swath of milky blues and whites feels like pooled breath or meltwater, softening the form’s severity and turning the object into a small monument to persistence, where erosion and illumination collaborate rather than compete.
