“In Buddhism, a sand mandala is a complex image made with colored sand built by hand, grain by grain. The process can take many days; as soon as the image is complete, it is swept away to give perspective to the profound impermanence of existence. This image from Bath & Body Works is similar, except that it is made with Photoshop in about thirty seconds, doesn’t look remotely like sand, ignores perspective, and represents the impermanence of employment.”
