The Unnamable Is the Eternally Real

The Unnamable Is the Eternally Real
1995 - 2013
Archival digital prints on UltraSmooth Fine Art Paper
76.2 cm x 76.2 cm each

In the series The Unnamable Is the Eternally Real, I use photographs of Buddha heads from the Royal Ontario Museum’s collection of religious artifacts. These heads were broken or sawed off from their bodies by thieves and vandals. Some of the artifacts were originally installed in, or carved directly into, rock walls at various religious sites, including the Buddhist cave temples of T’ien Lung Shan in Shansi Province, China.
