The Mandala Project is a series of graphically composed patterns born out of a fascination that started from the very first images that my eyes focused on and continues to this day.
Mandalas share a common component of concentric circles around a central point a unifying symbol, referred to in Sanskrit as “a sacred circle” that contains archetypal connotations transcending cultural barriers and conventional indoctrination. It represents our inherent wholeness and interdependence. Mandalas symbolize this archetype of wholeness and tend to appear as a reoccurring theme throughout our lives.For me, their recognition whether in the form of a flower or a galaxy, in my dreams or in various religious or historical sites, has always brought a reassuring feeling of connectedness; that I am part of a whole and one with it. In this site, I'm sharing some of my Mandala compositions in way of response to the world's chaos and dissonance. "We're in this together." Massood
“There is an inseparable relationship of every part to the whole. It is this principle of oneness underlying the geometry of [Mandala] as evidenced by its ubiquitous and fractal nature, that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. It provides a portal or gateway to this principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union inherent in all creation.” “The inner eye which sees meaning in the context, relationship and form of everyday things continuously reminds us of our relationship to the whole, the master blueprint for the mind and heart to the sacred foundation of all things created.”
DEDICATED TO THE INHERENT WHOLENESS, UNITY AND INTERDEPENDENCE OF ALL THINGS. With the realization that we share life together as a whole and any isolation or separation is superficial. To visit the mandala gallery: http://massoodworks.com/gallery1.html
