Daibutsu head, Japan
2016
A closer look at the work
A large Buddha’s head appears in a close side view against blue sky. Regular curls, an elongated ear and a lowered eye line divide the dark surface. Light reaches only certain edges. A cropped shoulder reduces the entire statue to a relationship between face, ear and head shape.
Daibutsu Head makes the distance between sculptural body and photographic image tangible. Cropping brings the monument close while its dark material remains closed. Looking moves across repeated forms before pausing at the facial contour. The photograph presents shaped presence without deriving a single religious or psychological message from the visible expression.
