MANDALALAS

Eastern esoteric traditions suggest that “sacred geometry” provides access to a higher order of life. The mandala – an emblem of a harmonious microcosm — is used in meditation as a “magic eye” into deeper spiritual realms.

The Mandalala series (2013–14) is an ironic reflection on the spiritualization of everyday life — a trend that has evolved into a quasi-religious lifestyle market, promising self-discovery and even salvation.

The life-sized Mandalala wall objects embody the Western gaze by incorporating everyday household items and reframing them as objects of contemplation.
