The original image for this flip was taken whilst home from London for the Summer holidays in New Zealand 2003, at the Chinese New Years Lantern Festival in Auckland: An open exposure photograph taken on the artist's first digital camera, a E5000 Coolpix Nikon.

Trained in film photography, New Zealander Anneke applies traditional photography techniques to digital technologies.

Anneke first started working with Mandala imagery around this time, whilst also regularly turning out physical artworks utilising lenticular technology.

Lenticular's lend themselves directly to NFT compositions in the form of animated flips as well as 3D prints. The animated works in this collection were designed for Lenticular prints in the early 2000's but never publicly exposed - until now as NFT's!

Mandalas are present in many ancient religions; spiritual geometric configurations that aim to represent our relationship to the infinite. Anneke has adapted the kaleidoscopic nature of the Mandala seeking to provoke a translation of the essence of the given subject matter.
