Modern Shaman & Artist & Ceremony Designer

The inspiration comes from “dul-tson-kyil-khor” in Tibetan Buddhism. It takes a lot of effort to draw, but after the painting is finished, it is simply cleaned up and turned into ordinary sand. It designed to explore the expressive meaning of Buddhism, which is a grand world view, i.e. everything is irreversible, and life is fleeting.

This work is a dynamic installation sculpture with a total of nine layers, representing the nine-layers pagoda in Buddhism. It uses the element of light to express the religious connotation, and applies the expression technique of cold abstraction, as geometric form is the most basic element of visual symbol. Combined with the characteristics of central symmetry in decorative art, make a very simple complex effect. Abstract the primitive symbols of western alchemy to serve as single elements, respectively: gold, silver, mercury, copper, tin, iron and lead, and also represent the seven planets of the universe, respectively: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. The other two layers are the Hexagram of Tibetan Buddhism and the Five Wheels of Buddhism; the Buddhist scriptures say that the world was built on five wheels.

​

The entire work rotates clockwise extremely slowly, like a Buddhist prayer wheel, with the speed of each layer set at a constant speed according to the atomic coefficients of the seven metal elements that make up the world. Each layer rotates in a fixed cycle, creating an infinitely rich pattern throughout the installation.

In the center of the installation, there are 9 wires, corresponding to 9 switches, which also encourage audience interaction. The audience can decide which switch to turn on and which switch to turn off, so as to explore the randomness and artificiality of this dynamic installation artwork, aiming to show that each person has his own way of building the world.
