Meditation series (1996–2012)

Meditation and the consequent attainment of sublimity is the most direct state of being I have experienced. There was a period when I often went on seven-day retreats at a temple in search of the essence and meaning of life. This series is a direct reflection of my experience of retreats and meditation.
