Offering, Kelaniya Viharaya Temple, Colombo, Sri Lanka, 2016

This temple is among the most revered Buddhist temples of the Orient. It is said that Buddha visited here around 500 B.C. I moved in on this offering stand to emphasize smoke from the burning incense left by worshippers, which represents the fragrant scent of morality. The bowl is filled with floral offerings as well. I made this image to appeal to both the imagination and the sense of smell. The fragrance of burning incense is at the core of this image.
