Dance of Light and Smoke

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 11 March 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

Surprised after looking at the beauty and greatness of the Big Buddha in Kamakura, I started to see how people were gathering around an object with the shape of an sphere. I noticed that this element had some holes on it and smoke was coming from the inside, after that I decided to take a closer look to this curious and strange object. What happened after getting near was spectacular, a small and amazing world revealed to me, one where light filtered through small openings to turn into a mystic director of strange shapes, produced by the smoke from the aroma sticks. The inside of this element turned itself into the stage for the dance of light and smoke.
