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...

Retina #7, an edition of 3, is part of the artist's "At The Center of Seeing" Series. In the image, the golden center blossoms outward in six luminous points, like petals or rays ...

In Iris Eye #25, concentric rings anchor the composition, pulling the gaze inward toward a dense, radiant core. The symmetry is stable yet alive, as if vibrating with hidden movement...

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...

In this work from At the Center of Seeing, a dark, six-pointed star anchors the center, radiating outward in pulses of amber, peach, and glowing white. The form is sharp yet dissolvi...

This image centers on a six-petaled form that blooms like a mandala, its rounded shapes encircled in bold dark lines. The palette radiates warmth—ochres, deep browns, and luminous go...

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...

Iris Eye #11, feels lighter and more architectural than some of the others in the Iris Eye series. The central pale star, with its softened hexagonal geometry, radiates outward like ...

Iris Eye #12, radiates like a solar mandala: a central, golden nucleus encircled by repeating petal-like arcs that resemble both organic growth and mechanical precision. The symmetry...

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. This archival pigment print is printed on Epson Enhanced Matte paper. Image size is 28" x 16" with a 1" white border...

Iris Eye #13, feels like a blossoming aperture—its center a radiant star encircled by deep magenta segments that suggest both iris fibers and flower petals. The repeated arc forms b...

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...
