Bonnō is the Buddhist concept that embodies the blind passions that drive our actions and emotions. Each work in this series looks at the pervasive material desires driven by these passions, and how they're carried right up to the altars of worship.Feeding from an amalgam of Japanese culture, western influence, and Buddhist traditions and symbolism – the sheer density of material defilements expressed in these works are a widespread phenomena of contemporary life throughout the world. Their hold on our field of view conveys the troubling complexities that seek to impede the attainment of spiritual harmony.
