About the Item

The meticulously rendered symbol for OM and the Ram's head are prominent features of this mandala. In many ancient societies, the ram was a long held symbol of: determination, action, initiative, and leadership. The ram is also a symbol of Aries, which is an astral symbol of rulership. This drawing is entirely hand-drawn using only pencil on paper. Framed in an off-white frame. 22.25 x 22.25 inches (unframed), 25.25 x 25.25 inches (framed). Japanese-born artist Michiyo Ihara uses only paper and pencil to create artwork that expresses the complexity of the universe. Beginning at the center of the white paper, she makes her first mark. Building outward with amazing skill and intricacy, she rotates the paper to continue the drawing. Each tiny symbol, sometimes animal, plant or planet, exists within a cell-like membrane. One little universe begets another as they grow outward in a beautiful, imperfect near symmetry. Ihara begins each drawing title with the word snowflake to reference the infinite and unique possibilities of creation. The artist lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
