A private commission oil painting inspired by the Buddhist theme “Floating Life, All Thoughts Turn to Dust.”

​

It portrays a woman seated upon a lotus, quietly looking back at the fragments of her life — the kite of childhood, the wild horse of youth, the glow of lanterns, whispers of love, laughter shared with friends, and the silence of old age.

Each moment rises and fades like mist, reflecting the transient nature of existence.

Through this work, the artist contemplates the impermanence of life, the dissolution of attachment, and the serene beauty that lies within awakening.
