A quiet field of pale resin — like an ash-strewn sky after fire — sets the stage for blossoms suspended in gentle disarray. Each petal appears to have drifted from memory, not branch, caught in the space between what was and what still lingers.

Dark redwood grains and crystal textures rise through the surface like embers long extinguished, giving depth and contrast to the soft floral elements. There is no blaze here — only warmth held in recollection, and the beauty of what remains when the fire is gone.

Ashes and Blossom is an ode to resilience and aftermath, where beauty endures not despite loss, but because of it. Handcrafted from salvaged wood, it captures the Wabi-Sabi spirit of holding sorrow and serenity in the same breath.

MANDARA – BOTANICAL RESIN ART FROM CHIANG MAI

Original Works in Reclaimed Wood, Art Resin, and Botanical Inlays

Each piece holds a story. We invite you to find yours.

Mandara Studio

Based in Chiang Mai, Mandara creates wall art that honors nature’s imperfections — capturing time, texture, and organic form through salvaged wood, hand-poured resin, and botanical inlays.

Inspired by the Wabi-Sabi philosophy and a deep reverence for the natural world, every panel is sculpted with intention — letting the grain, bloom, and bubble speak for themselves.

Art is in the patience of the process.

Each piece is made from salvaged timber, often marked by time and weather — and inlaid with real botanical elements preserved in crystal-clear resin. These works evoke a quiet sense of wonder, stillness, and connection to the natural world.
