Angkor Mandala Sequence - A Kaleidoscopic Video Tour By Antal Gabelics
From the project page:
"Originally reserved for religious activities, these structures are now some of the greatest tourist attractions in the world. These timelapse-loop videos meld the experience of tourism at Angkor into surreal, kaleidoscopic images and sequences inspired by Theravada Buddhist mandalas, in which the frenetic activity of backpack-toting tourists passes like the shadows of ever moving clouds over the weathered, ancient stones."
Flower Mandalas by Kathy Klein
Arizona-based artist Kathy Klein uses the petals of carnations, daisies, mums and other wildflowers to construct these ephemeral mandalas. She has a 2014 calendar of her best works.
