FREEDOM

Check what freedom means to this hero.
 
 
For me, as a Tibetan, freedom can be divided in three. Freedom of mind, speech and body. When all 3 human elements are oppressed, which unfortunately, is the case in Tibet for decades now, one is not free. Psychical bodies are imprisoned, speech is strictly censored and minds are enslaved and told what think. If you cannot move, speak or think freely, then you are slave of the system. As an artist, it is perhaps even more important that I can think freely, and express my thoughts in my art. IAM4FREEDOM!

Buddha in flames
In my ART4FREEDOM, the Buddha in flames, burns in response to Chinese oppression in Tibet. The Buddha burns and so do Tibetans. Since 1998, 142 Tibetans have set themselves on fire. They are represented here in 142 pencils “shot” into the Buddha. An off-stage Cupid holds his bow tightly, drawing back not arrows of love to shoot, but pencils. Pencils are signs of education, instruments that might open one to the world, to thinking about culture, religion, and politics in new ways. For me, these are not just any pencils, but the Nataraj pencils that Tibetan refugees in India grow up using. The same Nataraj pencils with which I did my first drawings, and that now, shot into the Buddha, connecting Tibetans in exile with those self-immolating inside Tibet.
One says: rang bstan/independence, and one says Je suis…, connecting Tibetans everywhere to advocate freedom. IAM4FREEDOM!
