Details: Inspired by the architectural style of ancient temples built throughout many Asian cultures, for instance, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, and China, I made an altar with the appearance of a Buddhist tower. This piece contains a handpainted Buddhist scroll painting inside the hollowed column that depicts the Kannon Bodhisattva, the symbol of mercy. This piece shows my belief in Buddhist practices and a statement of my worship of art-making.
