Yothin Narasak depicts Buddha as an ancient image carved in stone. Sunlight plays over the shadowy face, seeming to come from within. Emanating peace and beauty, the symmetrical features are timeless. I wanted to compare the light around Buddha's face during meditation with the people's faith in the master, the artist explains. Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist nation, filled with breathtaking ancient temples, pagodas and other architectural wonders constructed to worship Buddha. In Thailand images of Buddha play an important role beyond mere decoration. They are traditionally placed within the home in special locations, such as shrines or pedestals, to help facilitate everyday religious worship.
