My interpretation of the Buddhist¡¯s idea is all through my recent paintings of ¡°The Ruins¡¯ Mandala¡±. Mandala first appeared in Tantric Buddhism as a form of sand painting. In the making of Mandala, different colored sand processed in metempsychosis like pictures changing in a kaleidoscope. It embodies the Buddhist concepts of creation, maintenance, destruction and emptiness. Mandala also is a kind of visual presentation of the Holographism. It reflects the relationship between happenchance and eternal return of the whole universe; not only we can search out the information of universal existence in the detail of chance; we can also find contingence chance in the existence of the whole universe. When we are confronting the stupendous creative and destructive powers of today¡¯s technology, for me, Mandala is the best visual metaphor of our world.
