THE LITTLE BUDDHA
Made of a ½ Swiss FR silver coin from 1950 that is often overlooked into a revered spiritual symbol. This project seeks to explore the intersection of the material and spiritual worlds, and the duality of value. It raises questions about the power of money and the transformative potential of art and belief.
The project encourages viewers to reconsider their perceptions of worth and to explore the deeper meanings behind material objects.
Exhibiting at a former bank in Basel Social Club between June 15-21, 2025 during Art Basel, creating a fitting backdrop for this value exploration.
