Mandalas is a vibrant mosaic that explores the enduring symbolism of circles through a carefully structured composition. Seven distinct circular patterns are arranged vertically within a sleek black rectangular frame, each crafted with an array of small beads, tiles, and found objects. The intricate designs within these circles reveal symmetrical motifs that evoke mandalas and floral forms, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of continuity, life, and hope. A diverse palette of reds, blues, yellows, oranges, and greens energizes the piece, while the surrounding light beige square tiles provide a subtle, consistent backdrop that enhances the vividness of the central forms. The work balances meticulous detail with a playful arrangement, resulting in a harmonious yet dynamic visual rhythm that encourages close examination and contemplation. This multi-media approach amplifies the tactile and visual complexity, underscoring the connection between craftsmanship and meaningful symbolism. Framed, 10 × 20 × 2.
This piece is displayed in the Fine Arts Pavilion at the NM State Fair and won 3rd place in the Glass category.
