Pupil #1, opens into a quieter, meditative, and contemplative geometry. Here, a dark core anchors the composition, radiating petal-like forms that seem to dilate outward, echoing bo...

Red Eye #3 from At the Center of Seeing carries an especially charged and enigmatic energy. At its core, a glowing orb hovers in a dark void, as if suspended between emergence and e...

In Pupil #5, this composition feels more iconographic and symbolic, almost altar-like. The eye has become less about perception and more about presence—an emblem or vessel holding meaning. At the center-bottom, a pale, egg-shaped form rises above a deep violet structure that resembles both a heart and a pair of unfurling scrolls. This motif carries associations of birth, fertility, and transformation, as if the pupil has turned inward to reveal a seed of becoming. Above it, faint concentric rings form a flower-like pattern, encircled by delicate white marks that suggest both orbiting satellites and the notches of a clock. Time, in this work, feels suspended, it hovers in a state of expectancy, like the pause before emergence. The muted palette—lavender, rose, smoky brown—further emphasizes the contemplative quality. Pupil #5 reads like an inner diagram of potential, a moment of quiet before transformation. In the language of the series, it occupies the space between measurement and blossoming: the seed of sight itself, holding within it both time and vision yet to unfold.

Red Eye #4 intensifies the series’ exploration of perception and vision. Here, a dark circular void sits at the center, like a pupil pulled into infinite depth. Radiating outward ar...

Pupil #10 blooms outward like a radiant mandala, its six-petaled form evoking both a flower in full opening and the geometric harmony of a stained-glass rose window. This work feels...

Red Eye #6 continues the inward journey of At the Center of Seeing, shifting from fiery intensity toward a more diffused, radiant glow. At its center, a soft golden orb hovers like ...

Pupil #2 suggests a rose window, a star chart, or a rotating mandala. The faint, glowing greenish points orbiting the darkened center also carry the implication of a clock face, with...

In Red Eye #1, the palette is saturated with crimson and ember-like tones, evoking heat, intensity, and an almost bodily vibration. A central star shape anchors the composition, radi...
