Beauty of the Human Spirit

What is the human spirit? A question that begs a thousand answers indeed! Suffice to say, one can interpret it the way one desires. In this article, it is simply the human creating a sculpture that brings smile to me and many others who went to this exhibition.

Clay sculptures of people smiling and being happy are shown at the Soka Association in Tampines St 81 in Singapore. These eye catching pieces are brougnt in by my ex-colleague, Ravinder Singh whom I have written about in another previous article. The sculptor was shown next to Ravinder, as he shook hand with the President of the Soka Association, with the presentation of a specially sculptured piece of Dr. Ikeda, the founder of this buddhism practice.

The sculpture gave a demonstration on the technique on making the sculpture, and if any insight can be drawn is really that it can be learnt! He has several students under his charge, and indeed, many of the pieces were done by them in this exhibition.

I will place more photographs in my picasa web album, which URL is under the "Links I liked." The web albums depict journey of sight which is personal to me, just as you have your own. I hope by sharing such journies, we can have that simple insight that living a good life, with a sustainable consumption, we can make this world last better for the next generation. Such perhaps is the beauty of human nature!
