Composed of several photos I took in Burma/Myanmar, I think there’s enough ambiguity (such as in terms of the boys’ expression) to avoid a clichéd depiction of a Buddhist monk, while also having a palpable mystical quality (especially in the shadowy, undulating backdrop). Incidentally, I created this while living in a one room cabin in the mountains of Santa Barbara, where my restroom was a bucket of sawdust.
