Mandalas















"It became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the center, to individuation."
~Carl Jung

Mandalas
are typically a Hindu or Buddhist sacred tradition. The idea is that they are a small representation of the universe. They are to be a spiritual/metaphysical representation of the universe, and as far as I understand not intended to actually represent the physical configuration of the universe (check some Hubble sites if you want to see something like this ;) ). I find it to be truly beautiful and intriguing artwork. Mandalas represent the intricacy and flexibility of human thought.
