Yule Mandala” is an ephemeral, time based sacred geometry piece, documented through video and photography, that captures the ritualistic creation of a universal altar. Constructed from organic elements; white beans, cedar, pepper berries, cranberries, cinnamon, salt, and handmade candles, each material is a traditional symbol of the winter solstice, representing purification, enduring life, vitality, and the return of light. The work is deliberately temporary, emphasizing presence, impermanence, and the cyclical nature of renewal it honors.
This piece achieved viral recognition, resonating with a global audience of over 1.5 million viewers on Instagram. This profound connection stems from the captivating, meditative process of watching its creation. The mandala’s power lies in its synthesis of geometric form and natural symbolism to create a non denominational, transient sacred space. It functions as a tangible focal point, captured through video and photography, channeling a shared human longing for connection, introspection, and unity with the natural cycles it embodies.
