A jaguar winds his way carefully across river rocks, pausing to peer into the water below. His ochre coat, patterned with ancient rosettes, merges with the shimmering greens and blues of the jungle reflected around him. In this quiet moment, the stream becomes a mirror — both physical and spiritual.

The water reflects not only the jaguar’s form, but his essence, inviting us to wonder what a creature of such strength and mystery might see within himself. Painted with layered drips and sprays of abstract color, “Inward Gaze” blends the fluidity of the wilderness with the stillness of self-reflection.

This piece honors the sentience of wildlife — their inner lives, their awareness, and the silent wisdom they carry. It is a meditation on identity and presence, reminding us that in every being, wild or human, there exists a depth worth seeing.
