This Fractured Harmony print features a mandala which is a symbol of wholeness and harmony. Both wholeness and harmony require unity of effort and respect for the health of the collective... so where do things stand when we are selfish and divided? In this image a female protagonist peers at the viewer from behind the torn mandala suggesting one individual’s sadness that respect for each other and the planet that sustains all living things remains elusive. I believe that freedom and self-determination can symbiotically co-exist with respect for the planet and collective well-being. I think we’ve been tricked into a false binary that I refuse to buy.
