THE LAST MORNING
After Johannes Vermeer's Young Woman with a Water Pitcher, ca. 1662
Vermeer's Young Woman with a Water Pitcher captures an intimate moment of domestic calm: a woman beside an open window, surrounded by ordinary objects and natural light.

ṚTA - The Cosmic Order is a contemporary visual exploration of an ancient Indian idea: that existence is not random, but shaped by an underlying rhythm of order, balance, consequence, time, transformation, and renewal.
My starting point was an ancient Indian cosmic sculpture from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I was inspired by its idea of many forms existing within one unified whole. Rather than recreating the original sculpture, I explored that philosophy through a series of visual experiments in FLORA.
The final work imagines a mysterious cosmological artifact—a map of existence where nature, civilization, cause and consequence, cyclical time, dissolution, and rebirth exist as interconnected layers.
The creative process moved through multiple directions: sculptural forms, immersive cosmic structures, contemporary installations, and finally an ancient-future cosmic map. The final piece asks a simple question: What if the universe itself could leave behind a map explaining the order that holds everything together?
ṚTA is not chaos or rigid law. It is rhythm-the eternal movement through which worlds emerge, transform, dissolve, and begin again.
Translating cosmic order into a contemporary visual language is ambitious, and the rhythm of balance, consequence, and renewal gives the concept real depth.

What if Mona Lisa was never looking at us? 👀
I reimagined Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa as part of a mysterious Renaissance world, keeping her iconic expression while imagining what might be happening beyond the frame.
She looks calm, but it feels like she knows something we don’t.
Created in FLORA 🌼
Expanding the world beyond the frame while keeping her expression intact is exactly the right tension. The idea that she knows something we cannot see fits the original perfectly.
