Eye of the Earth captures the raw consciousness of nature observing itself. A large circular form emerges from layered textures of ochre, black, and blue — a symbol of origin and awakening. The vertical movement around this eye-like vortex evokes the flow of energy through roots and veins, connecting matter and spirit. Hamed Ouattara’s use of folded canvas and acrylic gestures reveals both turbulence and harmony, transforming abstraction into a living entity. This work stands as a testament to the earth’s sentient presence and the ancestral rhythm that sustains it.
