What took over two weeks to complete in New York City only took merely seconds to destroy. This ocncept is extremely hard to grasp. Hw can something done with so much heart and effort be destroyed in the blink of an eye? I believe that the meaning behind this work of art goes beyond the fanciful colors and brilliant patterns. In fact, I think that this Sand Mandala created by Mr. Tenzin is being used as a teachin model. A teaching model to the affect that all things that have come and settled with so much welcoming will eventually be replaced with something new. Something that is more advanced and perhaps a blessing to the society. The main symbolism of this piece is to relay the message that all things of the present will soon fade and not easily, but eventually welcoming new and better things to come.
