The name of the artwork, «The Sea of Samsara», deals with Indian philosophical and religious traditions and means the endless ocean we must cross, lifetime after lifetime, to reach that far distant shore, termed in Buddhism Nirvana. Samsṃ ara is a Sanskrit word that means «wandering» or «world», with the connotation of cyclic, circuitous change. It also refers to the concept of cyclicality of all life, of death and rebirth, a fundamental assumption of most Indian religions.
