Original fileThis black-and-white line drawing is a circular, radially symmetrical mandala. The center consists of a small, tight vortex of radiating curved lines, which expands into a series of interlocking teardrop and sickle-shaped forms confined within a double circular border. Surrounding this inner core is a ring of pointed, flame-like protrusions that extend outward, giving the composition the appearance of a stylized sun or a blazing fire.
This image utilizes the mandala form—a geometric configuration traditionally used in Hindu and Buddhist traditions for ritual focus and meditation—to represent solar energy through elemental fire symbolism.

Connects to the study of mandalas as archetypal representations of the self and cosmic order in analytical psychology.
