As I undergo a major life transformation, I have become passionate about embracing new perspectives and experiences. The ancient symbolism of mandalas has inspired me to looking into myself and re-interpreting my art. To quote Carl Jung, “In the products of the unconscious we discover mandala symbols, that is, circular and quaternity figures which express wholeness, and whenever we wish to express wholeness, we employ just such figures. ”. I have come to appreciate images within images in my works reconstructed in the form of mandalas. Art is not just what we see, it is how we see it. Art is about opening up to new possibilities. As we accept alternative potentials and perspectives, we experience metamorphosis.
