Notes: I couldn’t find much background on this mandala but it was too cool not to put in. The hands holding the stars is what pulled me in. I thought that was so cool. I didn’t think you could show something like an idea of astronomy in a mandala but I was obviously proved wrong.

Notes: I like how this mandala is black and white. It looks very bare and I feel like it could convey loneliness (which is what I feel when looking at it). For art to relay a mood is always beautiful.

Notes: The deity in the center is depicted as wrathful, which I find interesting. I’m curious if the colors represent some form of negative energy, and what specific spirit is in the center.
