It is generally accepted that underwear should not be displayed. But this rule, apparently, does not exist for the Spanish artist. Pilar Albarracin, because she created a whole network of works, consisting precisely of women's underwear, including a mandala of lace panties.
Just a couple of decades ago, the mandala was considered an exclusively Buddhist and Hindu sacred design. But in recent years, this religious meaning has been greatly blurred, and artists who have nothing to do with traditional Asian beliefs and teachings began to draw mandalas.
This is how the variants of this once sacred drawing made of apples, electrical parts, cones, leaves and vegetables appeared. And the Spaniard Pilar Albarracin even created a series of mandalas from … women's panties!
“Mandala” is translated from Sanskrit not only as “circle”, but also as “community”. This is the second meaning Pilar Albarracin puts into his unusual works. The artist claims that behind every piece of lingerie that she used, there is a story of a real person, who together make up a fairly large company.
When creating his works, Pilar Albarracin uses both plain and colored panties. So each mandala from this artist is unique, not similar in color or design to others.
Moreover, Albarracin creates not only mandalas from women's panties, but also just pictures. She frames them under glass and signs them with the name of the girl to whom this piece of underwear once belonged.
However, Pilar Albarracin herself does not explain why she got so many women's panties. Apparently, we will have to guess for ourselves.
