Because of the process required to create these pieces I call them mandalas. 'Fractal art' would be the proper term but that sounds harsh and uninviting. Working on these colorful images was a meditative process: during the search for the element that would serve as the base photo for a mandala, I found myself walking with purpose and seeing with intention. This collection is the result of seasons of walks at two botanical gardens: Anastasie Fătu in Iași and Red Butte in Salt Lake City.
