"Mandala"

It is the sacred schematic representation of contemporary Universe. It is the model of the Universe or the «map of space». Carl Gustav Jung considered a mandala as the archetypal symbol of human perfection, nowadays it is used in psychotherapy as a method of achieving comprehensiveness of one's own self.

There is a construction of several steel plates, forming a mandala (1560x1500x300 mm), hung by special ropes. There is the microchip in the centre of the mandala. The total height of the construction - 3000 mm.
