One of the reasons people are drawn to Ms. Shami’s Restoration series is that there is such a mandala feel to them, structured and settling to the soul, and the colors are alive. The viewer sees and experiences something in ways never experienced before, and this can offer a refreshing, contemplative respite in times of fear, anxiety, and stress. Restoration becomes transformation—one sees and experiences something familiar in a new way.
