Big Buddha #1

Piece description from the artist

Big Buddha #1 is the first of four versions of a shot of the Maha Bodhi Tahtaung Buddha statue, which, depending on how you calculate it, is either the tallest or second-tallest standing Buddha statue in the world. Located just outside of Monywa, Myanmar, this statue is the tallest of many thousands of Buddha statues that make up the Maha Bodhi Tahtaung temple complex. This area is also home to thousands of Bodhi trees, which is the type of tree the Buddha meditated under to attain enlightenment. Mix and match the four differently colored Buddha images to fit the space and colors on your wall!

About Chris Buchman

Washington, DC

Chris is a globe-trotting photographer cum educator and human rights activist who has spent the past several years working with North Korean refugees and bicycling across Asia. He's been to 45 countries, lived in five of them, and spent eight of the past twelve years abroad, with his camera always at the ready.

From amazing himalayan landscapes to the hustle and bustle of asian mega-cities, to the grime and grit of urbanity in developing countries, Chris seeks to make beautifully compelling images of everyday occurrences in our rapidly shrinking world.

He is influenced by formalism, photojournalism, and the built environment, so you'll find that his work demonstrates a unique combination of compelling composition, content, and attention to detail.
