Spray Paint & Acrylic on Wall
11 x 8 feet (approx. 3.4 × 2.4 m)

Buddha and the Cosmic Star explores the flow of cosmic energy through a composition that unfolds across two intersecting walls at a 90-degree angle. The figure extends into architectural space, with the cosmic star positioned on a functioning door — activating the surface as both a literal and symbolic portal.

A finely detailed halo of gold-painted motifs surrounds the figure, composed of intricate symbols that evoke a mythological narrative. This field of delicate mark-making contrasts with the scale of the mural, engaging balance, movement, and threshold while situating the body within a larger energetic continuum.
