Stone Voices | Sudeoksa Temple, Yesan, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea
This image evokes a deep connection to the earth, where the stillness of carefully balanced stones speaks to the harmony of nature and the calm found within simplicity. During my 40-day residency at Sudeoksa Temple in Yesan, South Korea, this arrangement of rocks was born from a meditative practice, embodying the philosophical principles learned in the temple. Each stone stacked in perfect equilibrium is a physical manifestation of patience, mindfulness, and the art of letting go.

The rocks, balanced in their imperfection, are a reflection of the peaceful acceptance of life's natural rhythms. They remind us that balance is not about perfection but about grounding oneself within the flow of time, nature, and the inner self. This image is not just a representation of a moment in nature, but an invitation to reflect on how we can balance the chaos of life with inner peace and awareness.
Captured at a Buddhist temple, this image serves as a visual reminder of the impermanence of all things and the beauty found in quiet moments of contemplation. It invites the viewer to pause, to breathe, and to connect with the deeper aspects of life, echoing the tranquil teachings of Buddhism and the art of mindfulness.
