Personal Connections
My personal connection to my art piece is that my mom meditates regularly and it helps her calm down, so i know how the customs of Buddhism can really work. It is amazing the difference in her mood when she starts to when she is finished. I love the Buddhism religion and it's ability to calm the mind, and respect it for their view of tolerance. That is why i chose these characters. You can understand the Buddhism religion, but to respect it is another thing. I have tried to meditate, but have not succeded. To meditate requires great diciplin, and i envy those who can successfully clear their mind. I think everyone should experience my artwork and learn about it. There is a lot of symbolism in my work and i think i really opened up a window into the Buddhism religion. Thinking as deeply as i do about my characters, my thoughts on that character are transmitted directly to the artpiece. The dalai Lama is portrayed in my artpiece as wizened by the world, happy, knowlegeable, and peaceful. Whenever i look ata picture of him, i always take a deep breath and imagine what it would be like to be him. Amazing. Simpley amazing.questions to audience:
1: Can you understand the piece without an explanation?
2: have you ever experienced an enlightening moment when you were calm and in controle?
3: Can you understand the historical figures i portrayed and their journey?
4: Are you religiouse? Can you relate to the beliefs of Buddhism?
