Each 1 cm² tessera seems almost insignificant when contemplated on its own. And yet, it is from this extreme meticulousness that the intensity of the motif is born. Placed one by one, each piece finds its place in the rhythm, like a contained, patient, almost meditative breath. The hand gesture becomes that of a monk craftsman, repetitive, humble, concentrated.

But as soon as you step back, the effect is striking. The burning nuances melt into a blazing movement. The eye no longer distinguishes the squares, but perceives a wave, a speed, a living body ready to leap out of the wall. The cheetah becomes a mirage. The colors merge into an all-encompassing, almost unreal impression, pulsing like a fire contained in stone.

This contrast between the infinitely small and the spectacular evokes yoga itself: the meticulous sequence of gestures, repeated, mastered, until the breath takes over the whole interior scene. Here, power is born of detail. And if you blink slightly, you suddenly discover the grandeur of the intention.
