“Symbols of Time” is a vibrant exploration of ancient visual language reimagined through a modern lens. Composed of intricate white symbols set against a deep black background, the artwork evokes a powerful sense of timeless mystery.

Human figures, animals, and geometric motifs intertwine to form a tapestry of coded meanings — each element suggesting stories of civilization, ritual, and cosmic order. The design draws inspiration from ancient cultures such as Mayan, Egyptian, and tribal art traditions, yet it transcends historical boundaries to create a universal visual vocabulary.

Through its symbolic richness, “Symbols of Time” invites viewers to reflect on the continuity of human expression and the shared heritage that connects past and present.
