Shelka<br>Last Caravan

"My painting depicts the contrast between new means of transportation and traditional means. I used influences from thangkas and Tibetan murals, like ships disappearing into, and turning into clouds, and a shepherd holding the cloud like a bow. The traditional means of transportation, especially the yaks, may go away or become useless, but some may have life after death or go to heaven. I used people as a symbol of culture that may or will disappear."
