Artwork Description:
After trekking up to the cliff side Buddhist monastery known as Tiger's Nest at Taktsang the day before, my friends and I took a cultural tour of Bhutan's temples and shrines, when I came across this young "Monk in Waiting," guarding the entrance and greeting visitors at a majestic dzong [fortress]in Punakha, Bhutan. In Bhutan, young boys qualify to become monks at the age of 18. Trongza Dzong, Bhutan. 2014 [Size availability: 48x32; 30x20; 24x16; 18x12. Acrylic mount; limited edition of 15 per size].
