Mandala Creation and Destruction

I created a mandala out of old spices that had lost their savor, and a few other herbs and seasonings as well. Cooked Spaghetti noodles were used as separators between the shapes. These photos show the completed design:

Following the creation of this mandala, it was destroyed by removing the pasta noodles and discarding them. Then the spices were poured into a glass canning jar.
