Between Mortal and Divine

Between Mortal and Divine: The Art of Buddha Making.

This series documents the traditional practice of Buddha statue carving, focusing on the artisans, their tools, and the evolving forms of the sculptures. Through close observation, the photographs highlight the transmission of skill, the material presence of wood and stone, and the symbolic act of shaping the sacred through human hands. The work positions craftsmanship not only as a manual activity but also as a cultural continuity, where devotion and artistry intersect in the making of the divine.
