Buddhas (Buddhist Figures and Structures)

This densely layered tableau reads like a mnemonic city of devotion, where sanctified figures, shrines, and architectural fragments are stacked into a single, breathing reliquary of memory. A restrained palette of soot-black and ash-white is punctuated by ember-red inscriptions, their rhythmic repetition acting as both prayer and pulse, guiding the eye through a labyrinth of icon and shadow. The compression of space refuses linear perspective, suggesting that history here is not chronological but simultaneous—myth, ritual, and daily life pressed together until they become one continuous surface. In the quiet tension between illumination and obscurity, the work proposes faith as an urban architecture: built from accumulation, sustained by repetition, and haunted by what cannot fully be seen.
