INTERACTIONS- INSPIRATION ‘The Mandala’

The Mandala meaning ‘Encircled essence’ has a concentric structure even if it may be domi-nated by squares or triangles. It, symbolizes uni-ty, harmony, cosmic and psychic order serving as a tool in our spiritual journey, a model for the organizational structure of life itself; a cosmic diagram that embodies our relation to the in-finite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds. It represents an in-tegrated view of the world, transcending all reli-gions and continents, a microcosm and a mac-rocosm, we being a part of its intricate design.

It appears to us in all aspects of life, the Earth, the Sun, the Moon and in our interactions; the circles of life encompassing friends, family and communities. Cross-cultural patterns of the mandala are seen in many religious traditions all over the globe, from Buddhist Stupas, Muslim mosques, Hindu temples, Christian cathedrals, Native American teepees, the Taoist “Yin-Yang” symbol repre-senting opposition, as well as interdependence.

In the interaction series of paintings symbolism derived from all these sources has been used to create a new set of symbols that may be viewed as contemporary forms suggesting the unity in diversity of thought of all humanity. Basic shapes such as the triangle, the circle, the square and the spiral used in the creation of any geometry have been used as building blocks along with forms and concepts such as the yin and Yang, the lotus, the gammadion cross, and the nautilus.
