EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Wheel of Life (bhavachakra)" from Tibet, dating back to the end of the 19th century. Created through xylography and painted on canvas by the Tibetan School, this artwork represents the cycle of existence known as samsara. At its core, this wheel symbolizes the various opportunities for rebirth that individuals may encounter based on their accumulated merits or demerits throughout multiple lifetimes. The hub of the wheel features three animals representing the three poisons responsible for perpetuating this cycle: a pig symbolizing ignorance, a rooster or pigeon embodying anger, and a snake representing desire. What makes this depiction particularly intriguing is how it appears to be enclosed within the mouth and claws of a monstrous figure identified as Yama, also known as the Lord of Death. This representation emphasizes both mortality and transcendence within Buddhist beliefs. Photographed by Sylvain Collet, this image beautifully captures not only the intricate details but also conveys a sense of spirituality and mysticism associated with Tibetan art. As we explore this photograph further, we are invited to contemplate our own place in an ever-turning wheel that offers possibilities for growth and enlightenment.
