​Eternal Circles

Across cultures, circles resonate with deep meaning and wisdom. In Buddhism, they represent the eternal cycles of life—birth, death, and rebirth. In Brazilian Candomblé, circles unite communities and honor ancestors through vibrant rituals. The Enso in Japanese Zen embodies strength, enlightenment, and the universe itself. For the Mayans, circles mirror the cyclical flow of time and the essence of community. In Native American traditions, the medicine wheel symbolizes life's continuous journey. 

Inspired by this rich symbolism, I chose to create my own circle, layering local newspapers, paint, and organic materials from my surroundings. To me, the circle is a powerful reminder: you are a circle. Every action you take returns to you, shaping your journey. Embrace this wisdom, and let your life be a beautiful reflection of unity and connection.
