Original fileThis display consists of a large white rectangular sheet bordered in red, mounted on a wall. It is populated by approximately forty distinct, circular, and geometric mandala designs, each featuring unique radial patterns and vibrant colors. The Spanish text 'Sonríe y el [world] sonreirá contigo' is written in black cursive script across the center, with a small depiction of the Earth replacing the word 'mundo'.
The work reflects the modern Western appropriation and popularization of the mandala as a tool for meditative practice and collective well-being, detached from its original Hindu and Buddhist liturgical contexts.
