Plants Mandalas by Kathy Klein

The word mandala, which can be loosely translated to mean "circle," comes from the Indian language of Sanskrit.



It is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the Universe.



The basic form of each pattern is a square with four gates containing a circle with a center point.



Arizona artist Kathy Klein created these stunning plants mandalas and called it 'danmalas’, meaning ‘the giving of flower circles’ in Sanskrit.



Keith created her danmalas in natural environments like parks, forests and shorelines.



After each is formed and photographed, she leaves them behind as a gift to whoever discovers them.
