An aura of serenity rests on a young Buddha as his enlightenment brings inner piece. His tightly curled hair is brilliantly detailed – his expression is filled with tranquility. Keen on travel, Tanachai Ekuruchaitep recalls seeing this image in Sukhothai province. When I looked at Buddha's face, I was impressed by the peace in his eyes, the artist recalls. The lichens and mottled color inspired still more respect, as this ancient image is part of my Thai heritage.
