Mandala of pills

Art Project 40 x 40 theme “Secret” Designer and artist Van Lieshout VI from The Netherlands. Is working on a project about manipulability and uses drugs (in her work). With her ‘Mandala of pills’ she went in search of the secret to mental and physical stability. On display at Tuur Gallery from March 4 till June 4, 2017

A mandala, or "wheel of life" is used for ritual ceremonies.
It has a geometric pattern that's depicting the cosmos.
A Mandala symbolizes the quest for inner peace and mental stability.
Medication is at odds with this idea.

the naive looks of this mandala shows how easily we ignore the fact that pills are not as innocent as they seem to be.



note: This mandala 40x40cm. is a pilot for a larger one
