I am happy to present Mandala - Inverno (Winter) as the next season in the series exploring the sacred geometry of the mandala combined with the human form.

The wonderful Australian fine art n**e model Sylph Sia (http://www.sylphsia.com/) is illuminated with the Hypermetatron and Metatron's Cube Third Expansion designs. These were laser cut on clear acrylic, supplied by SacredTribe on Etsy.

This new set of images features fine art n**e model Sylph Sia. The metallic tones and human form reminded me of the epic origin of our material world and the intense forces that create them. The balance of crushing gravity against electrostatic repulsion in the particle eventually leads to the many complex forms.

There is a saying in Tai Chi training, I am a part of the universe, the universe is a part of me. The interconnected nature of all things mind and matter!

"Supernova nucleosynthesis is the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements in supernova explosions.

In sufficiently massive stars, the nucleosynthesis by fusion of lighter elements into heavier ones occurs during sequential hydrostatic burning processes"

"Stellar nucleosynthesis in stars or their remnants creates almost all naturally occurring chemical elements heavier than lithium. Stellar mass loss or supernova explosions return chemically enriched material to the interstellar medium."

Mandala - Estate is the next season in this new series of art n**es. This set features the hugely talented and lovely Sylph Sia http://www.sylphsia.com/

Estate or Summer in Italian, is inspired by the warmth and life of the season. The Tree of Life mandala with its intricate repeating interconnected design is used here with some other floral designs. This pattern seems to be inspired by things seen in the naturally occurring world like leaves, cells, DNA, or possibly astronomical diagrams of orbits or spiral galaxies. I find it is a very balanced design of positive and negative space. Click the link to see the set
