Zhang zyi Buddha fly earth (Anedote/Penedote)
2006
A provocative and ritualistic assemblage, Terence Koh's *Zhang zyi Buddha fly earth (Anedote/Penedote)* combines sacred and corporeal materials — cymbals, antlers, beeswax, and the artist's own blood and hair — to blur the boundaries between the human body, spiritual transcendence, and earthly existence. The inclusion of lipstick and DVD alongside ancient and organic elements creates a charged tension between contemporary pop culture and primal, devotional symbolism. Koh's signature use of bodily and ritualistic materials transforms the work into a deeply personal relic, invoking themes of sacrifice, identity, and the fragile threshold between the physical and the divine.
