Chaos — Phenomenological Introspection Mandala Art by Chikako

Chaos

Like the Hundun of Zhuangzi, the formless vanishes the moment we try to give it form. Let the formless remain formless.

Artist’s Notes

I framed this work, finished last year. The frame I had ordered on completion never sat right, so I chose a plain black frame with a black mat — and it settled in more easily than I expected.

Looking at it again after some time, it seemed different from before… Perhaps when we look too closely, the essence slips out of view…
