Inspired by Chinatown during her travels in Singapore, the artist utilized the core metaphors of Buddhism for this artwork: “Lotus and Buddha.” This artwork is intended to contain the basic idea of life in Buddhism, especially through the face of the Buddha. All faces of the Buddha here are multiple, and it represents the various aspects of life that humans experience constantly, such as joy, anger, and sadness. Life is a continuation of pain, but at the same time, this pain is not permanent. When we experience sorrow and suffering, our desire and well-intentioned efforts for happiness can also be enhanced.
