Warli folk art illustration, a lone human figure standing at the center of a vast dark space, directly in front of them a rope coiled on the ground, but the rope's shadow thrown by a distant flickering lamp transforms into a massive hooded cobra rearing upward, the cobra shadow looming large and terrifying over the small figure, the figure surrounded by multiple layers of illusion radiating outward — in the first ring around them familiar objects their house their family their possessions all rendered as flat Warli geometric forms but each casting wrong distorted shadows revealing their unreality, in the second outer ring the same objects dissolve into pure line and dot suggesting they were never solid, at the very edges of the composition the darkness itself becomes a veil — depicted as a woven lattice of fine white lines like a net or cloth draped over the entire scene representing avarana shakti the power of concealment, above the entire composition at the top a single radiant geometric sun with rays breaking through the lattice veil — the rays of jnana piercing Maya, where a ray touches the rope the cobra shadow vanishes and the rope is seen plainly, where no ray reaches the cobra remains, the figure stands in the unlit zone still seeing the snake, white geometric Warli figures on deeply textured aged mud-brown surface, minimal hand-painted quality, ancient stillness, no color
