FISCAL MANDALA 2018
I used receipts collected during the pre-Christmas shopping rush to create origami modules, arranging them in the shape of the Mandala of Compassion (Mandala Chenrezig Avalokiteshvara). My reaction to the senseless and monotonous creative process of folding useless receipts came spontaneously on Christmas Eve, which is why the process of destroying the mandala was amateurishly recorded on my phone. Folding the receipts was monotonous and liberating at the same time. Interestingly, after placing the work in a display case, the receipts began to fade. The mandala initiated a process of self-purification.
The premiere realization within the ART for ADVENT Project MURZE MAGAZINE (GB) consisted of documenting each day of work during Advent. It consists of 26 photos and a film from Christmas Eve – December 24, 2018. Mandala was published in Muze Magazine, at the Paper Rebus solo exhibition, and participated in the international Concept 2019 exhibition at the Chong Institute for Contemporary Art. Gimpo (South Korea) at the Lucca Biennale in Italy and in Warsaw, Olsztyn, Cieszyn, and Toruń.
