Late on Monday afternoon, dozens of people gathered on the shore at The Pass in Byron Bay in a vigil to Belgian man, Théo Hayez, who vanished from the
region two years ago.
Some lay flowers, some stood in a circle around a giant mandala carved into the sand for the occasion by a local artist. The intricate, abstract motif is a symbol used in various spiritual traditions as an instrument of meditation.
For those gathered, the vigil offered a moment to reflect on Théo's story, his heartbroken loved ones overseas, and the ongoing search for answers.
