Down to Earth
These pieces highlight the harmonious relationship between nature and art. Accompanying the tree are smooth, earth-toned ceramic stones displayed on sand, evoking tranquility and a connection to the earth.
Before Awakening
In the process of enlightenment in Buddhism, one begins to become entangled in the web of human cravings, aversions, and delusions. It is as though a spigot of awareness is tightly closed within us. Through the practice of meditation and mindfulness, this spigot gradually loosens, allowing insight to drip through. As one continues to cultivate wisdom and compassion, eventually the spigot fully turns, and understanding flows freely. This represents the moment of enlightenment, where one awakens to the true nature of reality, free from the bonds of mental afflictions.
