Monuments (2010)
Monuments is a ten image photographic series created in a Tibetan region in the aftermath of an earthquake.
Most houses had been completely destroyed, yet in many homes the doors remained standing, carrying fragments of vivid colors, painted motifs, and traces of the Eight Auspicious Symbols. These doors come to symbolize both calamity and survival, the last surviving markers of a cultural and spiritual world.
In daily life, a door is something one passes through countless times—a simple, unthinking act. After the disaster, that act of entering and leaving is irrevocably altered; direction, time, and fate no longer have the same meaning.
These doors become witnesses to existence itself, where cultural color, lived experience, and the residue of belief continue to stand.
