Traces of Time

About the artwork

A friend texted me asking to buy this picture and wanted me to explain. I asked again. More importantly, how do you feel? She said she has her own feelings and wants to know more from the author. Then asked why the artist who painted the Buddha was not present. I really don’t want to have to explain at all, because sometimes the author himself does not fully understand his work. Her friend kept asking, so she had to briefly say this. For me, my understanding of Buddhism is very simple, not mystical and sublime. Buddha is in the mind, so Buddha has a form but no form. The mind is born, so the appearance is due to the cultivation of the mind. In Buddhism, isn’t the mind something that needs to be cultivated, and the body just a borrowed thing? Not only that, she asked him why it was two baby birds and not another number. This is how my crow had to explain. Isn’t the process of practice a process of struggle of the subject himself? In humans, there are always two sides of good and evil, black and white, left and right. We always have to struggle, fight with ourselves all the time, everywhere. The mind is not calm, the mind is not stable, it is easy to go astray. You can understand it roughly like that. I don’t want to explain further. Buddhism, the path of practice is like no other. Understanding and feeling about Buddha is also different for each person.
