his artwork is a fascinating synthesis of symbolism, ritual, and cyclical time.
At the centre is a large circular form resembling an ancient mandala or cosmic wheel, etched with intricate script-like markings. The golden-blue texture evokes something between archaeological artifact and spiritual diagram, hinting at hidden knowledge or eternal cycles of life.
Around this wheel, brightly coloured human figures are positioned — each in distinct poses and hues (red, green, blue, orange, yellow, pink). Their bodies seem tethered to the circle, as if orbiting or enacting ritualistic roles. Some reach out, some kneel, others hold objects like a flower or bells. Their individuality is highlighted by color, yet they are bound within the same circular system, suggesting human destiny, diversity, and interconnection within the cosmic order.
The artwork also hints at a game or performance of time — the figures appear like markers on a clock or calendar, frozen in symbolic positions. The textured inscriptions resemble forgotten languages or sacred scripts, reinforcing the sense of timelessness.
Thematically, this is very different from the visceral animal energy of the bull and rooster works, but conceptually it links back through cyclicality, instinct, and struggle within larger patterns of existence.
