Talpi_Return to the Source (還源) explores the process of shedding the illusions and attachments accumulated throughout life and returning to one’s original state. The golden light revealed beneath the peeled surface symbolizes not a new existence, but the Buddha-nature and truth that have always been present within.
The coexistence of disappearance and revelation reflects the process of emptying oneself through spiritual practice and returning to one’s source. Through this work, viewers are invited to turn inward and reflect upon their own original nature.
