This sculpture by Zheng Lu at New Age Gallery is described by the photographer, Flickr user NowJustNic, as such: “This large Buddha head (well over a metre tall) is made out of traditional Chinese characters in chrome, which give it a delicate, ethereal feel, different to the monumental stone or wood statues of Buddha you usually see in temples or grottoes. It’s one of my favourite finds at 798 so far (though it’s gone now). My friend Eric said he would stand it at the end of his bed and put a light inside it :-).”
