Tao Hui Pagoda, 2023
Water-based pigment on shell paper
50 x 60 cm (unframed)
The work is from series of paintings executed on opalescent paper covered with a thin layer of slices of shell. The material is significant as conch shells are considered a magical vessel. In a reference to their use as trumpets, they symbolize the spread of the Buddha's teachings and the awakening of his subjects from the slumber of ignorance.
