Monks Creating Sand Mandala Near Perth at Dusk

by Cindy Gibbs

Four figures in deep maroon robes kneel on the ground, their hands moving with precision to arrange colored sands into a complex geometric pattern. The scene glows under the orange cast of nearby sodium-vapor streetlights, against the cool blue twilight filling the sky above. Dry autumn leaves skitter across the grass around the mandala's perimeter, caught in a sudden gust. The monks sit in a tight circle, their focus absolute as they build the intricate design. Negative space surrounds the group, showing the isolation of their work against the darkening landscape. A faint shadow of a monk falls across the red sand grains, marking the edge of the light.
