AWAKENING FROM THE DAYDREAM

AWAKENING FROM THE DAYDREAM reimagines the ancient allegory of the Wheel of Life for the modern world. Famously painted at the entryway to Buddhist monasteries, the Wheel of Life encapsulates the entirety of the human situation. Encoded in the image of the Wheel, we find how to make sense of life and find peace with an uncertain world.
