"My painting
depicts the contrast between new means of transportation and traditional
means. I used influences from thangkas and Tibetan murals, like
ships disappearing into, and turning into clouds, and a shepherd
holding the cloud like a bow. The traditional means of transportation,
especially the yaks, may go away or become useless, but some may
have life after death or go to heaven. I used people as a symbol
of culture that may or will disappear."
