Naga
(2023)
Carved paper, mixed media on wood panel
40 x 30 in
Cracks in the Temple series

Naga moves with calm, coiled authority.

Power here is perceptive rather than dramatic.

Awareness arrives early and is carried quietly.

Protection reads as service, not control.

Attention remains inward and outward at once.

Clarity gathers through steadiness over time.
