About the work

Located at Mount Jiuhua in Anhui, Land of the Kasaya is a 9.9-meter-tall monumental bronze installation inspired by the story of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s spiritual journey at the mountain. The sculptural figures, oversized robe-shaped backdrop, and surrounding natural landscape were conceived as an integrated site-specific composition.
