This series evoked a deep connection between my practice and the fundamental beliefs in Buddhism. Homeland Springs is a documentation from a personal journey within the Buddhist epistemology. The layers of paper cutting loosely encapsulate the concept of different stages of enlightenment to finally emerge into a flower which represents ‘rebirth’ both in a figurative and literal sense. The creative direction in this ongoing series is an interdependent process; individual layers cut and constructed to mimic nature’s growing process.
