Entry Description:

My work engages with the idea of impermanence, derived from Zen Buddhist philosophy. The work is an attempt to visually create the sense of silence, emptiness and beauty derived from meditation on the
impermanence of reality and a sense of the fragility of life and the self as an intrinsic part of nature.
