Work Details

Concept There is a term for impermanence (meaning that everything has a beginning and an end) in Buddhist teachings. As long as this world is impermanent, there isn't much difference between Buddha statues and disposable items such as plastic packs, etc., which will decay in the same way.

However, in reality, they are naturally divided as Buddha statues and disposable ones.

Therefore, it is a work that presents questions about values up until now, from plastic packs, etc. made using the same carving techniques as Buddha statues.
