About the work:
The circle is a universal symbol with extensive meaning. It represents the notions of totality, wholeness, original perfection, the Self, the infinite, eternity, timelessness, all cyclic movement. It implies an idea of movement and symbolizes the cycle of time. The circle is also zero in our system of numbering and symbolizes potential. In art the circle has been a recurring subject and has been drawn by a vast list of artists.
"Although throughout art history I have been seeing circles in art for decades it wasn’t until “The Dot” a children’s inspirational book by Peter Reynolds that I embarked on my own self-discovery and realization journey that led to The Dot Project series. Mr. Reynolds entices us to make a mark and follow where it takes us." says the artist.
