Although killing takes place every day, we know that somewhere in this world, there are people who are extending a helping hand to others, working hard to save lives. I believe that violence, hatred, arrogance and fear will finally be converted into the positive energy of love, peace, eternity and compassion. The evil spirit will be enlightened and the world’s fate will then be totally changed. This work is dedicated to those who strive for peace.
this is amazing. and i still don’t understand how the joined bit supports the hands and the gun. i think you must be a magician.
You made a great job! I love the intentions behind this beautiful statue!
But i think that it’s too fragile, and it could be broken easily!!
Sure, it is very fragile like most of my work.
I’ll admit I didn’t understand it until you explained it, but the message is really beautiful, and I love the way you expressed it. The amount of detail you put into everything is awe inspiring: the wrinkles in the skin, the flow of the melted metal, and all of the painting along with everything else I didn’t mention; it’s absolutely breathtaking.
Amazing — just like the ancient saying “Drop the butcher knife, become Buddha"

Reblogged this on I Make Stuff And I Talk A lot and commented:
HOLY WOW.
What kind of clay body are you using? And what is supporting the weight of the hands and gun other than the clay? Or if there is nothing but clay bridging the two pieces I’m truly dumbfounded as potter.
That is only one stoneware clay body. This piece of work is still in good condition. But I have to say I’ll never do something like that again. Every move was extremely risky.
Just tell people it’s site specific and you’ll never have to risk it again.
inspiring and beautifully done!
Very well done. I’d buy a replica of this in an instant.
wow this is truely amazing. how long did the whole process take you? How did you glaze the part where the support touches the hands? How did you remove the structure did you have to break it?
It took me about 2 months to finish. There is no glaze on hands. The supporting frame is removable, one of the horizontal bar in front can be released so that the whole structure can move backwards.
Breathtakingly beautiful.

I have just stumbled across your blog by accident. To say I am deeply touched by your work is an understatement. Sincerely, thank you.
