Behind The Waves
Through his art, Jawshing Arthur Liou aims to transform recognizable imagery into realms of otherworldly experience. Pilgrimage is at the heart of his work: his latest project, “Behind The Waves,” took him to Japan to grapple with the aftermath of the devastating 2011 tsunami. Before that, he traveled to Tibet to engage the tradition of mountain pilgrimage in Tibetan Buddhism. Join the Indiana University professor as he shares his sojourns across the media of video, photography, and writing.
