Mandalas, Meditations, and Kindness

Beschreibung

In the reverberations of the COVID-19 pandemic, Juan Felipe Herrera began a daily practice to draw and write mandala poems. Through this new practice, Herrera created well over 500 mandalas, a series of circles that served as contemplations, concentrations, and transformations of his consciousness within the isolation.
