IMPERMANENCE



I saw a picture on the internet about a statue of Buddha that had its head dismembered by someone or it was destroyed by the elements. Some might see that photograph as tragic, but I saw it as a reminder of impermanence. That as mortal beings the only thing that stays with us is our wisdom. Hence I painted a halo of where the head used to be to signify enlightenment even after death.
