Seeking Shambhala
On a recent visit to the MFA, I explored the Seeking Shambhala exhibit.
I was fascinated by this sculpture by Gyatso, called "Radioactive". It is a large, seated Buddha covered in collaged stickers, announcements,
advertisements, etc. Such a powerful statement of how peace of mind is corroded by materialism, distractions, greed.
Here is a close up of the head. The third eye is radioactive. Love it. (Click on photos to enlarge).
