sculpture idea
a buddha sculpture. it would be large, the seated meditative buddha would be about 12 - 15 feet tall. made of WOOD. it breathes, contracting and expanding his belly at a rate of one full breath per 5 hours. it blinks, opening and closing his lids once every 24 hours.
the visitor would one day see this great buddha with his eyes open and fully expanded chest. on her next visit, perhaps months or years later, this buddha would not be as she remembered, his eyes closed and his concave belly deprived of oxygen.
