Paris: sand mandala

LX3, F2.8 1/20 800iso

Sand mandala in the final stage of creation at the Musee Guimet. The mandala, as you may have guessed, is created with coloured sand - a slow, meditative and painstaking process. It's then destroyed as part of a ritual ceremony to symbolise the importance of non attachment to objects and the impermanence of all things.
