When visiting the reclining Buddha, we passed by Acalanatha, the fierce Buddhist deity, god of fire, said to protect worshipers from disasters or harm. At his feet were numerous Buddha disciples. I was fascinated by their expressions – everyone different. Fantastic work.

Enjoy some of them from a closer position. They were covered in moss and lichen, but their faces and gestures were so very alive.

I hope you too found them fascinating!
