Photographic mandala created from Cherry Blossom Tree in Full Bloom. Rebirth series This collection of artworks are created from mobile phone photographs of Cherry Blossom Trees in full bloom around Barnes made into beautiful mandala compositions by repeating and reflecting them for contemplation on the brilliance, fragility and transience of life. Tied to the Buddhist themes of mortality, mindfulness and living in the present, Cherry Blossoms are a timeless metaphor for human existence. Blooming season is powerful, glorious and intoxicating, but tragically short-lived — a visual reminder that our lives, too, are fleeting. Revered around the world not just for its overwhelming beauty, but for its enduring expression of life, death and renewal
