Causal

This Li Chen's sculpture is depiction of the Buddhist causal theory which states that no man is an island; we are all members of the society. Our life is intertwined with the public at large. Our knowledge is the result of the patient teaching provided by our teachers at school. Our daily necessities are produced by the cooperation of different levels of society. The figure in the middle portrays a life that is supported and lightened by many others behind him, and the clapped hands express gratification.
