Caustic Introspection imagines self-awareness as a chamber of inward-facing mirrors. Parallel currents of thought enter, glance off an interior circle, and depart along new trajectories, tracing the shimmering envelope of a cardioid caustic. Each reflected line records a single moment when intellect strikes the boundary of the unknown and bends into insight. The drawing captures that fleeting flash of internal reflection: a lattice of luminous rays converging toward a hidden heart while respecting the empty space that grants them room to turn. The composition therefore embodies cognition as an optical phenomenon—an interplay of disciplined entry, precise impact, and emergent, curving revelation.
