1986 Young Nuns, Guiyang


This 1987 depicts two young Buddhist nuns seated together in Guiyang, their expressions calm and composed. They appear at ease with each other, sharing a tranquil moment free of formal rituals or teachings. 

The setting, comprising stone steps, wooden doors, and an incense burner, reflects their lives, rooted in modest surroundings. Their youth contrasts with the enduring traditions they have inherited, suggesting an active spiritual practice carried forward by a new generation.
