A sumptuous and layered collage by Carol Bove, *Nureyev Mandala* centers on a reproduction of a Richard Avedon photograph, encircled and adorned with delicate feathers arranged in a radiant, mandala-like composition. The work melds the worlds of high fashion photography, dance, and decorative craft, evoking both the glamour and mystique surrounding legendary ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev. Encased in a Plexiglas frame, the piece balances preservation and display, lending the ephemeral materials a sense of sacred permanence.
