For Santiago’s
mandala, I chose to put the universal symbol for alchemy in the middle.
Branching out from that, I incorporated his flock of sheep, a beating,
courageous heart, the pyramid where he was told to find his treasure, urim and
thummim, the tree where his real treasure was buried and some butterflies to
symbolize his transformation. I chose to do the background in a spectrum and
fill the outside in black accompanied by glitter. I did this to represent the
synchronicity that occurs within alchemy and the use of precious metals.
My Mandala
For
my mandala, I chose to put the planet Earth in the center. I did so because I
live on Earth and try to feel connected to everything around me. Branching out
from that I put my bike because I enjoy physical activity, paint and a
paintbrush because I am interested in crafts and creating with my hands, an
iPod to represent my love for music, a book with a brain and the word
‘knowledge’ on it to show my desire to learn and understand life, my
boyfriend and dog that make up my little family, and my childhood sock monkey
that has accompanied me through many different stages and times in my life.
