For me, the mandala has become a symbol of peace and calmness. Anytime I see a mandala either that I drew or see one elsewhere, I can take a step back and breathe and feel at least slightly more mindful. Additionally, I prefer to relate my mandalas to something significant in my life. Recently, I came into contact with a pocket watch at a festival and I have been using it as of lately. Immediately, I noticed a mandala-like abstract design on the back of my pocket watch, which serves as the theme for this 3rd personal project.

A clock, just as in the stopwatch, appears in the middle of the mandala, and it goes to represent the importance of staying on time and not wasting time. Both of these are things I hope to do in the future. Furthermore, there are flower-like images around the centerpiece

which relates to our current change of seasons in the falling of leaves, changing of colors, etc. Coincidentally, I purchased this stopwatch at the Jim Thorpe Fall Foliage Fest.

Regardless, this mandala is based off a pocket watch and is intended to keep in mind good time management habits and a motivator because the time one has is limited.
