"I wanted to depict this as a kind of divination of a Buddha or
a dream. The train will bring modern culture and there will be the
contrasts, clashes and even intermingling between modern and traditional.
The 2 mandalas represent Tibetan traditional culture, which in the
face of modernity is ‘de-colored’. The modernity has the stronger
colours, but I feel that eventually everything has a time, as in
the Buddhist teachings of impermanence. Eventually everything will
be lost or disappear. The woman depicts traditional woman and the
man depicts modern man. In the train, romantic things could happen,
but I really don’t know what results this will bring."
