Sleeping Buddha (Reclining Buddha Bridge)

A recumbent figure lies in bruised, earthen tones, held beneath an elevated, latticework architecture that reads like both shelter and scaffold—an intricate cage of domestic ideals hovering over a vulnerable body. The compressed horizontal composition turns the bed into a threshold between rest and exposure, while the pierced geometric roof casts an imagined pattern of light that cannot quite reach the sleeper, suggesting care that arrives filtered, conditional. In the tension between warm, woodlike support and cool, oxidized surfaces, the work meditates on how intimacy can be structured by systems—how the places meant to protect us can also frame our fragility as an exhibit.
