“The imago mundi mala* is from a series entitled Cartography of the Liminal, and is inspired by my own recent shamanic journeys into the unseen realms over the course of 4 months. Memories of these internal voyages carry an intangible yet indelible talismanic power of intention, which I attempted to transfer physically to these three strands of prayer beads. Imago mundi can be understood on a cosmological level to mean “microcosm of the world.”
