Eye of Enlightenment, 2024 — a tilted white-and-black eye over a horizon of ochre, a luminous triangle and gold bar centred against violet curtains.

You came to look at the painting. The painting is looking back. Shiva's third eye doesn't hand out wisdom. It burns the things you mistook for wisdom. It's a weapon, not a blessing. It destroys who you thought you were. To make room for who's actually there. Most people want enlightenment to feel like a hug. This is the other one. The one with teeth. Still standing here? Good. Now look back.
