Transformation
As if by magic, Buddha has evolved from a drawing to a wax
model, melted, disappeared, become translucent glass and then
a 2.5 meters high monumental sculpture. The elements of fire,
water, sand, wax, oil paint, ink, paper, photography, computers,
stainless steel, welding torches and many talented human hands
have been involved in this creation. Metamorphosis and transformation
are serious intentions. My heartfelt gratitude to the following
magicians who helped bring my Buddha to life with their dedication:
