About this serie:
Doors of Daitoku-ji
The series began while I was sitting outside a Zen temple in Kyoto, waiting for a monk
to emerge so I could ask whether I might meditate there every day.
Waiting changed the way I looked.
As I became still, I began observing the temple doors that people passed
without noticing. Their worn surfaces, traces, light and material irregularities
slowly transformed into entire visual worlds.
The work grew from a simple question that still runs through my practice:
What becomes visible when we stay long enough to really look?
Doors of Daitoku-ji is about attention, presence and the worlds hidden inside what initially appears ordinary.
