Council of Leaves | Mandala Art P&B 招待状

Council of Leaves is a contemplative mandala shaped from organic forms—leaves, petals, twigs, and nature-inspired found elements—arranged in quiet symmetry. Rather than strict geometry, the design follows a more natural order, echoing how patterns arise in forests, gardens, and the living atmosphere that surrounds them. At its center, layered botanical forms gather like a meeting of voices, suggesting balance through relationship rather than control. The mandala feels less like a symbol to decode and more like a presence to sit with—listening, holding, and gently illuminated from within. This piece is created in the spirit of Gaia: the living intelligence of Earth itself. It honors the idea that nature is not merely background or resource, but an active, responsive field—one that remembers, adapts, and participates. Each leaf becomes both an individual and part of a greater whole, mirroring the way Gaia weaves diversity into coherence, within a vast and interconnected cosmos. Council of Leaves reflects an ongoing exploration of organic materials, botanical forms, and the subtle beauty of what is often overlooked—an invitation to pause, observe, and reconnect with the living world and the wider field it inhabits. This design may appear in different color interpretations over time, each preserving its original symbolism. Margaret ♥
