Mandala Cyanotypes
I began printing mandala cyanotypes during a painful turning point in my personal life. I realized this process wasn’t just creative — it was sacred. Each piece became a marker of healing. Not the kind you perform, but the kind you earn. This body of work traces my personal healing journey through light, time, and nature. Each mandala was created with plants collected during a year of deep transformation. Together, they form a map of stillness, clarity, and quiet renewal.
Vast Illusion - Formed from delicate, star-like botanicals of Queen Anne’s lace that echo galaxies, Vast Illusion reminds me of my smallness within the infinite. It offers a shift in perspective — that life’s problems are fleeting compared to the vastness of the universe — a truth that brings both humility and peace. Size 26''x26'', sold at $1400
Breath In - Bougainvillea petals spiral like tiny mouths — a reminder of the breaths that carried me through heaviness. Arranged in a circle of twelve, they echo quiet balance — the steady rhythm of inhale and exhale, of time unfolding gently. Breath In holds that stillness — where peace begins to bloom.

Clarity - Created with ginkgo leaves — their sharp, defined edges like moments of sudden understanding — Clarity holds the stillness that comes after the storm. Negative emotions pass like clouds, but the wide-open sky remains. Size 26''x26'', sold at $1400
Endless Possibilities - Composed of hydrangea petals in varying sizes — each unique and luminous. Endless Possibilities celebrates change and diversity, reminding me that every difference carries its own kind of beauty, and each moment is a new chance to grow. Size 26''x26'', sold at $1400
It's About Time - Created with California lupines that bloom only for a fleeting season, It’s About Time reflects the quiet wisdom of healing. Twelve leaves form an inner clock — a reminder that we can’t rush what needs time to unfold. As Haemin Sunim writes in The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down, “Don’t struggle to heal your wounds. Just pour time into your heart and wait. When your wounds are ready, they will heal on their own.” Size 26''x26'', sold at $1400
Moving Forward - Formed with heavenly bamboo leaves arranged into a circle of twelve, Moving Forward marks the moment I began to feel content — when I could finally release the past, both the good and the bad. It’s a reflection on balance, a quiet acceptance that nothing is ever purely one or the other — good or bad, joy or loss — only part of a larger whole. This piece is a step toward peace.
