IMAGE: A mandalic image of some squares within squares and complex floral bouquettes
       centered around a point of light.

Chariya: This looks like a yantra.

Bhäraté: Really? To me it seems like a geometric abstraction – nothing more.

Daiki:   (raising his eyebrows) Eh? All I see is a floral bouquet.

An-Yi:   Different people see different things. I find that fascinating.
