Buddha - Spirutality

According to wikipedia : Object dArt is " In fine art, a work of art (or artwork or work) is a creation, such as a song, book, film, video game, print, sculpture or a painting, that has been made in order to be a thing of beauty in itself or a symbolic statement of meaning, rather than having a practical function. A work of art might also be called an objet d'art, a French phrase that literally translates to "art object" and means something with perceived artistic value."


The inspiration for this session came after hearing "Diamond Sutra" by BIDDU. It is an album by Times music. The cover of the album, a beautifull image which i felt would look great if photogrphed with respect to a theme. Thus the search for theme which almost took 3-4 hours to visualize and another hour of effort to get the image aesthetics right. The effect of the photos exceeded my expectations.

Before finalising on the theme of buddha, I clicked a top view photo of the album cover, with the beads. While doing this the above photo theme idea was born in my upper celestial part(mind).

This last one, i wanted to digitally enhace to add effect of the puzzle, the irony of our life and path of spirituality is also puzzling. I wanted to remove few of the puzzle blocks to give a realistic effect, but unfortunately i have not yet succeded in it.
