ARTIST STATEMENT
My artistic process has a combination of different techniques and disciplines. Including installation, sound art, and photography that are all informative of the teachings of the Lord Buddha. Teachings such as the Middle Path. It would help if you made peace with everything that happens in mind; birth, old age, sickness, and death is an everyday matter, death, etc.
In a series of my works, I have wanted to convey an understanding of the Buddha's Dhamma to the audience. The unchangeable truth of Dhammachita, the impermanence of life, and emotions dominated by a lack of consciousness and reflective thought are essential. These are reminders that life is short and that we should do good for the benefit of all.
We experience suffering in many forms, whether physical, mental, or emotional. When we know suffering, we can end suffering according to the Four Noble Truths in Buddhism. I want to bring the Buddha's teachings to help alleviate pain with art to create awareness, remember the present, and make every day positive. Unfortunately, it is not often given to everyone that the truth of the method is the same as the truth of nature spoken by the Buddha while still alive.
Everything is impermanent and constantly changing. Nothing lasts forever, no matter how happy, sad, or emotional, which will inevitably change according to its nature. The most important thing is understanding the natural cycle and how pain can manifest. We should explore and observe the mind that all things originate from our mind.
