A sprawling meditation on the intersection of art, religion, spirituality, human suffering, and modernity as prompted by three contemporary temples in Chiang Rai
When I read your disclaimer, I wasn’t sure if I would like this piece, but I actually really enjoyed learning about Buddhism and then reading about the three temples through that lens. I love the picture of the hands and the reflections on suffering / enlightenment as a lack of suffering + desire. Kinda scares me.
Can you send me more pictures of the Black Temple, ones that show the colors you mentioned?
Also, I’m glad you didn’t try to make it less academic / more personal. It feels like this piece is how it’s meant to be! 🙌🏼
