The large mandala drawn on the floor from multicolored glitter draws on the symbolic and ritual power of its medium, the Tibetan Buddhist practice of creating an image from pigment or colored sand. Yet there is a comic quality to the image of a chubby baby grabbing and punching a cartoon-like python. A symbol of impermanence, the mandala, like all such ephemeral sand mandalas, will be destroyed, its glittering plurality swept away, symbolizing the Buddhist belief in the impermanence of all material life.
