The geometry of nature

Collaborative Public Art in the form of a peace meditation

The mandala is a circular public artwork in chalk pastels. The workshop itself is a form of peace meditation based on the Indian and Tibetan tradition.

The public artwork is arranged in concentric rings divided into segments. Each participant creates a drawing within one segment as a part of the whole public artwork.

The workshop is around 2-3 hours and the mandala itself is ephemeral and will be washed away with the rain.
